Verse and Story for 2022 : On the Winds of March by dovemarie |
With March's howling winds come the Lenten season in the Catholic Church, and also holydays and feast days. I celebrated the Lenten season on March 2 with Ash Wednesday, lectoring and singing the psalm at church, then receiving ashes. March 3 is my friend Rachel's birthday, and she and I and her boyfriend and another friend are going out to eat on March 4, to celebrate. March 11 is the anniversary of my deceased father's birthday, and it is also the day my right eye was operated on to eliminate myopia in 2009. March 17 is, as everybody knows, St. Patrick's Day, and I sing "A Gaelic Blessing" in church. I've been doing that for a few years now. I am half Irish. On March 19, I celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, and the Feast of the Annunciation, (the angel telling Mary she will give birth to Jesus) falls on March 25.
