I hope next season we'll get more plot details about Heaven and angels, but now... Look at these cute little angels!

Paul the Apostle

Paul was a follower of Jesus Christ who famously converted to Christianity on the road to Damascus after persecuting the very followers of the community that he joined. However, as we will see, Paul is better described as one of the founders of the religion rather than a convert to it. Scholars attribute seven books of the New Testament to Paul; he was an influential teacher and a missionary to much of Asia Minor and present-day Greece.

I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted

When I met you, my virtues uncounted

All of my goodness is goin' with you now

I was housed by your warmth

Thus transformed

Remember me, love, when I'm reborn as the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

Today we also celebrate the Hieromartyr Peter, Archbishop of Alexandria. Saint Peter was born in Alexandria and grew up an educated man. In 300 AD he was elected Archbishop of Alexandria for his piety. Being driven into exile by the Roman Emperor, Saint Peter travelled through many lands, keeping contact with his Alexandrian flock by letter. Having returned to Alexandria, he secretly visited imprisoned Christians as well as helping the widows and orphans of the area, preaching the Word of God. During this time, the infamous heretic, Arius, denied the divinity of Jesus Christ, attempting to tear the Church apart with his heretical teachings. Saint Peter anathematised the heretic and excommunicated him from the Church. The heretic sent two priests to beg the saint for a lift of the ban, pretending that he had repented. The Holy Peter, seeing through the guise of the evil one, instructed his flock not to believe nor come into communion with Arius. Saint Peter once had a vision of the twelve-year-old Christ who appeared to him with a torn cloak. He asked the Lord who had torn his garment and Christ replied, “that madman Arius has torn it by dividing the people whom I have redeemed by My blood. Do not receive him into Communion with the Church, for he has worked evil against Me and My flock.” Throughout his life, Saint Peter never sat on the Bishop’s throne placed in the altar, but rather on a footstool, claiming that every time he approached the throne, a heavenly light would shine on it, and out of reverence, did not dare to sit there. Having led his flock in justice and piety, the Roman Emperor Maximian heard of him, arrested him, and sentenced him to death. The Alexandrian flock were outraged, even to the point of rioting if needed. To avoid any bloodshed, Saint Peter requested that an opening be made from the back of the prison so that he might be taken to execution in secret. At the time of his beheading, a heavenly voice blessed the Saint.

Peter: *holding newborn Andrew for the 1st time*

Baby Andrew: *sleeping*

Peter: *sneezes on him*

Baby Andrew: *continues sleeping*

How many years apart are Peter and Andrew? I'd imagine Peter being 5-6 years older than Andrew.
