Remembrances for December


Dear friends, if you have time, please pray for these members of the Southern family on the day they reposed.

Dec. 6th
Jefferson Davis, he had the difficult task of leading the South during the War, and was unjustly tortured by his Yankee captors for two years after the ordeal had ended.  Interestingly, his death occurred on the feast day of one of the Church’s most beloved saints, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker (the same St Nicholas associated with the Christmas season).  There have been a number of times when St Nicholas has miraculously interceded on behalf of those wrongfully accused; perhaps we will find in the Eternal Day that there was some connection between St Nicholas and Pres Davis during his imprisonment.



Dec. 12th
Andrew Lytle, one of the great men of the South of any age.



Dec. 24th
Charlotte ‘Lottie’ Moon, the self-sacrificing Virginia missionary to China.



Many thanks.

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
