I did a quick guest post over at the Apostolate of Hanna’s tears blog on today’s Byzantine Catholic feast, the Maternity of Anna. Check out why today’s feast was moved to December 8th for unity, and read a beautiful prayer about a woman who was called barren, Mary’s mother, St. Anne.
Also, if you don’t know the legend of the Meeting at the Golden Gate (take all Wikipedia entries with a grain of salt), you must take a look at this painting which I recently had the chance to view in person, Filippo Lippi’s “Meeting at the Golden Gate”,
This painting made me cry–it’s really quite tremendous.
(Side note: today is also the feasts of Old Testament St. Hannah & St. Juan Diego in the Roman Rite.)
