This may be unpopular around here...

... but if anything good came of the changes made to the Calendar in the 1960s, it has to be that in the new rite today is also the feast of Ss Cyril and Methodius, Apostles of the Slavs and Co-Patrons of Europe! It's been cheering me up all day long! (And Cyril did die on 14th February, so it's not mad.)

Gospodi pomiloi!

St Valentine, pray for us! Ss Cyril and Methodius, pray for us!


(also apologies to everyone I owe emails to. This having an actual job lark eats up one's time something awful...)
