Sunday Savvy 4

Why not share a little Sunday someting with me comment or email me

This is Sunday 4 of the series 'Sunday Savvy'

Today i'm sharing a lunch with i dont know who, i've been doing this since 1978; no its not a blind date, its a church community offering; The St Vincent De Paul Society (a world wide) community within the Roman Catholic church, has as one of the items on its agenda, bringing hot lunches to underpriviliged families. Here in my parish, the work is divided; some persons cook and box a lunch to be shared; other persons collect the lunches and distribute it to the donees.
much love

The story of Draobete in the Romanian Festival of Love tells of...
...a proud woman, teasing the month of March who then gets even by taking a few days from February. Other stories are of Dochia, sister of Dacian ruler Decebal, who runs away in the mountains to seek refuge from the Roman Emperor Trajan. She disguises herself as a shepherd, but looses her lambskin and freezes. She is then metamorphosed into a stream and her sheep are turned into flowers. Regardless of its origin, the myth of Dragobete speaks of pristine love, of nature’s rituals translated into people’s life, of new life cycles and of being reborn.



Bye Bye February thank you for my birthday on day eleven;
much love
