The Feast of St Mary, celebrated by the Church on this date since the 6th century.

             “Ye Watchers and Ye

    Holy Ones” Latin words from the 5th-8th century

  O higher than the cherubim, more glorious than the seraphim, lead their praises, alleluia. Thou bearer of the Eternal Word, most gracious, magnify the Lord, Alleluia, 

alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

<—Mildred at the Piano

        If know know this hymn (#618 in the Episcopal Hymnal) I bet you dimes to donuts that it is singing itself in your soul. I can hear my Montanan Aunt Mildred, who would not have known it in the least, saying “You betcha” with her wonderful laugh.
