December 6, St. Nicholas of Myra, Pastor. I start off the morning as I usually do, with my Treasury of Daily Prayer and cup of coffee. I also treated myself to the first slice of Pan au Chocolat. The babies love the day we remember St. Nicholas for obvious reasons…chocolates and treats in the shoes. We discuss St. Nicholas and acknowledge the many legends that surround his story, how we actually have very little historically reliable knowledge of him, but focus on what we do know. He was a pastor and probably a very kind and generous one, most likely bold in his teaching and faith. So we commemorate him and we pray for the pastors we know who boldly preach and teach today.
I love these special celebrations!
and Esther’s hat is too funny! 🙂
