Martinmas

Saint Martin of Tours - German, Met NYC

Boy do we need the traditional Martinmas feast and calendar this year!  Advent is effectively only three weeks this year! Just too short for me!  I loved how in the old calendar, the time for spiritual preparation for Christmas began with a big feast on St. Martin's Day, November 11th, also our now Remembrance or Veterans Day.  It was a predictable 40 days each year that became what we know now as Advent.  Nothing is stopping us from adopting that spiritual timetable of beginning our pre-Advent preparations now!  Find out more about it here in my previous post.

Blesses Martinmas and Veterans Day!
