あらすじ・解説
In this episode we recognize the End of Ordinary Time and the end of Season One of Saints Preserve Us. Along the way we acknowledge The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe and discuss a little celebration that happens around his birth, which was overshadowed this year by our grander celebration of Michaelmas. We also highlight some other December Saints, most notably Jolly Old Saint Nick and learn how New York City invented Christmas as we know it today to stop the Irish from getting drunk and running wild in the streets. We recount the horrific details of the tragic death of teen martyr Saint Eulalia and wonder why so many stories of Saints from December involve people being put in barrels. And finally Sean shares a memory from his childhood of a special feast that used to be celebrated on January first but now must never be spoken of under penalty of excommunication.
It's been a wild and wonderful first season of Saints Preserve Us and we want to thank all of our listeners and our esteemed guests. Stay tuned for Saintly Stories in 2022!
