The Events of Holy Monday

The Passion of Palm Sunday
Beginning in the forth century in Jerusalem, Palm Sunday has been marked by a procession of the faithful carrying palm branches.

Not that we’re all in a rush, but today is exactly nine months from Christmas, the birth of our Lord and Savior. Today is the day Gabriel appeared to a young Mary and proclaimed “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” This is the Feast of the Annunciation.

Today is the original feast day of Saint Gabriel the Archangel. Unlike most saints that were mortal beings who managed to win favor with the Lord, Saint Gabriel is an Angel – an Archangel. Human Saints are individuals who, like all people, are riddled with sins, faults and imperfections. Yet these people achieve sainthood through the simple and unselfish act of surrendering to the will of God. But what about angels?

Did you notice I didn’t have a recipe posted on Sunday? Maybe you didn’t notice, but I sure did. I write my posts in advance, scheduled for 5 in the morning. Once up, I share the latest posting on Face Book, then off I go with whatever the day may hold.

National Ravioli Day with Flair!
Welcome to the first day of Spring. Are you ready to enjoy life again? We will be putting our garden in soon, having already prepared the beds for this year’s summer harvest. Tomatoes and peppers are the biggies for us. We’ve given up on the idea of growing strawberries. The battle of the bugs has officially done us in. I might plant herbs in the bed where the berries had been. Or more tomatoes. We are still in research mode.

Today is the 3rd Thursday of March. I wanted to acknowledge the significance of the day that has everything to do with food but nothing to do with recipes. Today is Nation Farm Rescue Day. Farm Rescue is a non-profit organization that is an important part of the farming and ranching community from North Dakota to Kansas. Without farmers and ranchers, we’d have no food.

Each year on March 17, America becomes one giant Emerald Isle for an entire day. We wear green clothing, guzzle green beer and in Chicago, even dye the rivers green. All things thought to be Irish are actually American Made.

Today we celebrate National Artichoke Hearts Day. Did you know that artichokes are a good source of antioxidants, vitamin C, folate and magnesium? Artichokes are also high in fiber, calcium and protein. Artichokes are low in calories. On their own, artichokes are fat-free and cholesterol-free. Wow, that’s one health vegetable.

Today is National Kansas Day. Like many who do not call Kansas Home, when I think Kansas I think Dorothy flying over the rainbow to Oz. I also think Bloody Kansas and the bitter division in the territory before the first shots fired in the American Civil War.
