... I bet you wouldn't have woken up with a sore throat if you'd gotten in blessed the day before.
That is all.
...
Actually, it's not. A throat blessing?! What?! So weird.
Also, it made me happy to identify some of my postcards on your drawn postcard wall. :) There is another in the mail, currently!
yay i see my postcards too :)
having a realllllly hard time not being jealous of your choiring and choir partying...i miss that. does this mean you might think of trying out for something next year? if jeff's done his work there should be like four different choirs...
Ah, the Feast of St. Blaise! I remember getting that! Hadn't thought of it in years. Perhaps yer pa might remember too.
They put two candles tied together with a red ribbon to make a V; the priest put the open end of the V up to your neck and said a blessing. We filed out of the classroom into the nearby church during school time to get blessed. I think the nun said something about being protected from bones getting stuck in your throat. Made ya wanna become a vegetarian.
I like the wikipedia entry on St Blaise: '... candles unlit (for safety reasons)'.
