Today we also celebrate the Holy King Wenceslas (Vyacheslav) of Bohemia. Saint Wenceslas was the grandson of Saint Ludmilla of Bohemia and was raised by her in deep piety of the Christian faith. At the young age of 18, he ascended the throne and ruled with justice and wisdom. He loved peace, and built many churches in honour of the Theotokos and the Saints, in particular Saint Vitus. Envious nobles, however, plotted to murder the Saint. They incited both his mother and brother against him, who murdered him violently at the doors of a church he himself had built. Having discarded the body without burial, they attempted to clean the blood from the church, however the blood stains on the church doors would not clean. After three days, the blood disappeared by itself, thus proving a miracle in the eyes of the saint's mother and brother. They both repented of their evil deed and transferred his holy relics to the church of Saint Vitus, whom he deeply venerated. The famous Christmas Carol "Good King Wenceslas" is in honour of this Saint and his good deeds.

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=
