The Fatherhood Chronicles LXXII

So, starting with tomorrow, here are the feast days of the possible birthdates of our newest and yet-to-be-born baby (who's due date is tomorrow):

  • 28 June: Forefeast of the Apostles; and Sts. Sergius and Herman, founders of Valaam Monastery
  • 29 June: Sts. Peter and Paul
  • 30 June: Synaxis of the 12 Apostles
  • 1 July: Wonderworking Unmercenary Physicians Cosmas and Damian of Rome; Sts. Processus and Martinian of Rome
  • 2 July: St. John of San Francisco, Wonderworker; and the Placing of the Tunic of the Mother of God in Blachernae
  • 3 July: Martyr Hyacinthus
  • 4 July: St. Andrew of Crete
  • 5 July: St. Athanasios of Mt. Athos and the Uncovering of the Relics of St. Sergius of Radonezh
  • 6 July: St. Sisoes the Great; Martyr Lucia and those with her
  • 7 July: Great Martyr Kyriaka
  • 8 July: Great Martyr Procopius of Caesarea
  • 9 July: Hieromartyr Pancratius of Taormina
  • 10 July: St. Anthony of the Kievan Caves, Founder of Monasticism in Russia; and the Holy 45 Martyrs at Nicopolis in Armenia
  • 11 July: Great Martyr Euphemia; and St. Ogla, Isapostolos and Princess of Russia

(And let's hope Anna doesn't go the full two weeks over her due date!)

What a great lineup with a bunch of martyrs and monastics!

If I have my druthers, I'd love for the baby to be born tomorrow evening. But 2 July ain't a bad date either! A combination of a Marian feast and the feast of our patron. Oh, and mom will be here, too!

July 2 is also the feast of St. Swithin of Winchester, St. Oudoc of Llandaff. You want the other Celtic and Old English Saints for those days?

Either way, Clifton, Many Prayers and Mazel Tov!
