Not that I’m complaining her placement on the calendar in July gives me an additional reason and excuse to sing her praises!Īs for the past week’s events, we need to begin with the Fourth of July weekend. I know that today, July 8, is the feast day on the calendar but she died on March 17 and this is still the traditional date on which I personally reverence her, alongside Ireland’s patron. She inspired a poem of mine, “The Bishop and the Virgin”, published in my collection of verse, Divining Divinity, in which I compare her with Saint Patrick, with whom she shares a feast day. Today’s saint is a favourite of mine, largely due to the fact that she is local to the area of Norfolk in East Anglia, which is the Shire that I call home, though I’ve been in exile and away from its hallowed soil for these past twenty years.
