I am loving your posts about feast day folklore and celebrations! My husband and I always try to celebrate Michaelmas, St. Nicholas Day and St. Lucia Day but too often, “life” gets in the way. Your stories are inspiring me to make them happen this year!
Thank you so much! I love that you recognize those feast days! Life so often crowds in on our fun, doesn't it? We've had a St. Lucia Day that was just store-bought rolls plopped on a plate with a candle, made special only by reading a prayer & one when we celebrated at night because the morning went haywire. Mostly our feast day celebrations are as chaotic as our regular life.
I cannot get enough of folklore and rituals surrounding the winter solstice. I love seeing Christ’s triumph over sin and death played out on a cosmic level, with all the tales we’ve told to participate in the victory.
Yes! All the folklore, all the connections to history, the cosmos, the tragedies and triumphs of humanity, and the ways God uses the mundane to show us glimpses of the Divine.

But yet, still you celebrate 🥰 Your stories are inspiring me to embrace more of life’s chaos!
