Is it just me or have the “holy days” we keep been sneaking up on you too? They’ve come so fast this year I’ve felt I’ve hardly caught my breath in between each one. We kept a modest All Saint’s Day celebration this year, on the Sunday we recognized it in church.
The babies wore white and we feasted on white meat, a roasted pork tenderloin and mashed potatoes.

I no longer try to smoosh celebrating Reformation Day, October 31st, in with Halloween. Instead I happily take advantage of the Sunday we observe the festival in our church. So this Sunday we remembered the Reformation.

The Feast of St. Michael and All Angels or Michaelmas is a favorite of mine. And yes Katy, it’s one more occasion for all my babies wear WHITE to church!

September 14th is the Feast of the Cross.
“Although there will always be some question concerning the origins of Holy Cross Day, this festival invites an appropriate and salutary focus on the Cross as the means by which our Lord Jesus Christ atoned for the sins of the world, defeated death and the devil, reconciled the world to God, obtained our salvation and glorified the Father’s name. Though His Cross is a foolish scandal to the world, to us who are being saved it is the power and wisdom of God, unto salvation. For it is by His Cross that we are crucified, dead and buried with Him in Holy Baptism and in daily repentance, and from the same Cross that we receive the absolution or forgiveness of all our sins, by which we also rise with Christ unto newness of life.” source
