Preview of Christmas
Today is the Optional Memorial of St. Wenceslas.
"Good King Wenceslas" was my son's favorite Christmas carol at a very young age. He memorized all the verses, and it was quite humorous to listen to a 2 year old belt out the tune and verses. So I nurtured this love by getting books with wonderful illustrations and stories to flesh out this saint.
I had a long post for this feast I wrote last year, with all the book recommendations. If you know any more, pass them along my way. We NEVER tire of St. Wenceslaus.
A happy feast day to you all!

'Good King Wenceslas' by Elizabeth Rose, OP, pub 1964. Quirky, funny, amusing 1960s illustrations.

PS I meant out of print rather than Order of Preachers by the way!

Marianna mastered Good King Winceslas on the harmonica this week. It sounds really fantastic in a bluesy sort of way - LOL!
