Saint Barbara
December 4th is the Feast Day for Saint Barbara!
I am very fortunate to be participating in a celebration at my local Botanica on this fortuitous day!
It is important to note that Saint Barbara is now an unofficial Saint, or a folk Saint, due to the fact that she has been removed from the official church calendar. However, her cults have persisted and many argue that it is because of her popularity in folk magick and spiritual traditions that her reputation is still alive!
Our Lady of Guadalupe
The photo above was taken by me on a trip to New Orleans and is from the International Shrine of Saint Jude.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is noted in Spain as far back as the 17th century. She is one of the three Black Madonnas in Spain. During early centuries of Christianity, the Cult of the Black Madonna was widespread. This sect packed in popularity during the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries, especially in France and Spain.
Saint Expedite
Saint Expedite is the Patron Saint of the Republic of Molossia. He is also the patron of emergencies and solutions to those emergencies. He is traditionally depicted as a Roman soldier, holding a palm leaf in his left hand, and raising a cross with the word "Hodie" (today) on it. His right foot is stepping on a raven, which is speaking the word "Cras" (tomorrow).
