Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered;

and when he was made perfect,

he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.

In the liturgical calendar, today is the Feast Day of Abbán moccu Corbmaic.

Blessed Feast! Happy Saint Nicholas Day!

We are familiar with the tradition of Father Christmas in some regards, the more common name is Santa Claus in the United States. How familiar are you with Saint Nicholas of Myra, the real person that would be known as Father Christmas/ Santa Claus? Did you know that his feast day is December 6th?

Saint Nicholas of Myra was of Greek descent and early Christian bishop, he became the Bishop of Constantinople. It was while he was Bishop that the first ecumenical council was held, also known as the First Council of Nicaea in 325. The discussion over the divinity of Christ became so heated that Saint Nicholas is reported to have physically struck a fellow priest, Arius, for heretical theology.

This is far different from the man we are familiar with as a Wonder-worker. He was known as a secret gift giver, and there is held the tradition of leaving out children’s shoes for Saint Nicholas to fill with tokens. It is said that he was born into a wealthy family, and after the death of his parents he gave up his wealth for his faith. Saint Nicholas is often attributed to children, this is because many of his miracles centered around children. One of his earliest incidents recorded was when he rescued three girls from being forced into prostitution by dropping bags of gold in their homes for their dowry. Other stories mention calming storms, saving soldiers from a wrongful execution, and destroying a demonic tree. It was after his pilgrimage to Egypt and Palestine that he became Bishop of Myra and was imprisoned by Diocletian but was released with the accession of Constantine.

Saint Nicholas was best known for his generosity and kindness, especially to children and the poor. The action of leaving out shoes or placing out stocking is a long standing Christmas tradition to be filled by the patron saint of sailors. Saint Nicholas is venerated in Catholic, Orthodox, and Episcopal churches. However, the image of Saint Nicholas is recognized by many winter season traditions throughout Europe, America, and other parts of the world.

THE DESCRIPTION OF OUR LADY OF PROMPT SUCCOR The Patroness of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana Feast Day: January 8

The French Ursuline nuns first arrived in Louisiana in 1727. The nuns established a convent and founded what is the oldest school for girls in the territory of the modern-day U.S., Ursuline Academy, which educated the children of European colonists, Native Americans, and those of the local Creole people, slave or free. The Spanish sisters came to assist the growing school in 1763 after Louisiana fell under Spanish control.

In 1800, the territory came back under French possession, and in 1803, most of the sisters, fearing the anti-clerical sentiment of the French Revolution, fled to Havana, Cuba. When Louisiana passed into the control of the United States, the sisters sent the President a letter asking if their property rights would be honored by the new government.

Short of teachers, Mother Saint Andre Madier requested sisters from France to come to America to aid the struggling convent. She wrote to her cousin, Mother Saint Michel Gensoul, who was running a Catholic girls boarding school in France at the time. The Catholic Church was suffering the wrath of the revolution under Napoleon. Mother Saint Michel, knowing that the Church was in distress in both her homeland and abroad, approached Bishop Fournier of Montpelier to request a transfer. Bishop Fournier felt unable to afford the loss of another nun, as many had been killed or fled during the revolution, and advised Mother St. Michel that only the Pope could give this authorization.

Pope Pius VII was a prisoner of Napoleon at the time, and Mother St. Michel knew the unlikelihood of the Pope even receiving her letter. She prayed before a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and said: "O most Holy Virgin Mary, if you obtain for me a prompt and favorable answer to this letter, I promise to have you honored at New Orleans under the title of Our Lady of Prompt Succor."

Sending her petition on March 19, 1809, Mother St. Michel received a letter from the Pope Pius VII granting her request on April 29, 1809. Mother St. Michel commissioned a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Infant Jesus. The workman carved her flowing robes so that she would appear to be moving quickly. Bishop Fournier blessed the statue and Mother St. Michel's work.

Many miracles have been attributed to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady of Prompt Succor. Two historical events are especially associated with the Virgin. The first occurred in 1812 during the eruption of a great fire in New Orleans devastating the Vieux Carré. The Ursuline convent was facing imminent destruction as the winds blew the terrible fire toward the Plaza de Armas.

An order was given to evacuate the convent, however at that moment, a nun named Sr. St. Anthony (Marthe Delatre, daughter of Antoine Delatre) placed a small statue of Our Lady of Prompt Succor on a window seat and Mother St. Michel began to pray aloud, "Our Lady of Prompt Succor, we are lost unless you hasten to our aid!"

The second major miracle occurred in 1815, three years after the disastrous fire. General Andrew Jackson's 6,000 American troops faced 15,000 British soldiers on the plains of Chalmette. On the eve of the Battle of New Orleans, New Orleans residents joined the Ursuline sisters at their convent in the French Quarter to pray throughout the night, imploring the help of Our Lady of Prompt Succor.

On the morning of January 8, the Very Rev. William Dubourg, Vicar General, offered Mass at the altar on which the statue of Our Lady of Prompt Succor had been placed. Cannon fire could be heard from the chapel. The Prioress of the Ursuline convent, Mother Ste. Marie Olivier de Vezin, made a vow to have a Mass of Thanksgiving sung annually should the American forces win. At the very moment of communion, a courier ran into the chapel to inform all those present that the British had been defeated. They had become confused by a fog and wandered into a swamp.

The Mass ended with the singing of the Te Deum, and an annual Mass of Thanksgiving has been held January 8 ever since.

Pious believers of New Orleans pray before the statue of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, asking for her intercession whenever a hurricane threatens the city. During hurricane season, prayers are said at every Mass in the city during the Prayers of the Faithful requesting Our Lady of Prompt Succor's intercession and protection. After Hurricane Katrina, prayers were made to Our Lady of Prompt Succor asking for the quick recovery of the damaged city and surrounding area.

On June 13, 1928 - the feast of St. Anthony of Padua, Pope Pius XI declared the Blessed Virgin Mary, under the title of Our Lady of Prompt Succor as the Patroness of Louisiana.

Feast Day | Revelers

((ooc note: this is open to any character present all guin's bday ball who wishes to jump in on this! this one im intending to make a bit plot-based, as i wanted to write out roderick allowing the astairans to make offerings...and then the publically receiving the "shocking" news that the staffords might be bastards soon after just bc its high drama and i thought we might all have fun w it!!))

The Great Hall seemed to glow. Decorated by the Varmonts in gold and in bronze everywhere and limned with torches and roaring fires in each of the halls many hearths, Eilia was struck with the strange impression that she stood within a jewelry box, gems and metals catching the light in a strange dark-light transmutation that left all the world half kaleidoscopic in glowing shadows of amber and black.

Drums boomed a sonorous rhythm as the people of the Varmont Empire danced their controlled, static dances, and Eilia found their motions were more trancelike than joyful. Perhaps, she thought bitterly, joy would indeed be the next thing Roderick would outlaw. It did, indeed, seem to be the kind of bent his mind took. Still, Eilia shook her head clear of these thoughts. When she approached the golden thone, she must inhabit another character, entirely. She would not be the scorned, conquered queen but, rather, the grateful guest. Her quest was too important to fail.

In place of the high wooden seat of Eilia and her father and his father before them, carved with stars and moons, tangled amongst a world of faux bois foliage, Roderick had got in a garish polished-gold throne that soared up and. up and up. She thought he must have plundered the wealth of half the world's nations to build his golden throne, alone, and Eilia's lips pressed together in disquiet she refused to speak. Still, this too she pressed aside as, approaching the throne, Eilia caught Aria's eye. The time had come.

Previously, she'd been speaking with Sebastian and he was even now speaking in hushed tones to his father. Eilia held her breath and she prayed.

The Emperoro's eyes were sharp and grey like ice and, as they glanced past his son towards her, Eilia straightened. There was a calculating gleam in Roderick's eye, and Eilia could not trust it.

"What do you suppose he will say?" Eilia quietly asked her sister. "Ought we to have a...fall back position, should he refuse?"

St Kevin's Church, Wicklow Gap, Co Wicklow

St Kevin’s life is not well documented, as no contemporaneous material exists. His Latin vita maintains that he was descended from a royal line and was related to the Dál Messin Corb. He was given the name Cóemgen, which means “gentle one”, was baptised by Cronan, and educated by St Petroc during that saint’s sojourn in Ireland. He lived in solitude at Disert-Cóemgen for seven years, sleeping on…
