Katharina Von Bora Luther – December 20

On December 20th the Church remembers Katharina Von Bora Luther, or Katie Luther wife of Martin Luther. I’ll admit so many of these commemorations this close to Christmas usually slip by me. I always intend to keep these days somehow, especially Katie Luther day, but there’s always so much going on etc etc.

But this year we marked the day…two times! On Wednesday the 20th I talked to the kids in the morning about Katharina, who she was and some of what she is known for doing. One of those is for making beer, like Daddy does.  I was sick and sent to bed before we could make our own “beer” that evening, so we got to talk about Katie the next day as well.

On December 13th the Church remembers St. Lucy or St. Lucia. And here again is another saint with many legends and little facts. But she’s still fun and due to the nature of her traditions I think she’s a good saint to use to teach truths to the babies.
