Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen, when the snow lay all about… 🎶. I’m fortunate enough to say this is not my view today. This was a few years ago. But today is The Feast of St. Stephen. St. Stephen was an early Christian deacon who worked with the poor. He’s the patron saint of bricklayers and stonemasons. He was stoned to death (executed by local religious authorities) for anti-semitic preaching. The song is fun. His work with the poor commendable. Sad he was stoned to death, but I don’t think he deserves being honored as a saint. His comments (which I will not repeat) are reprehensible. Meanwhile pray for those caught in this weekends snowstorms. Im sure they’re not singing lightheartedly as they dig out. #goodkingwenceslas #feastofstephen #stormof2022 #standupagainstantisemitism #standupagainsthate https://www.instagram.com/p/CmoxgiqrVgZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
