Project BLACK MAMBA: Octave of the Nativity

'Tis the Optional Memorial of Saint Sylvester I, Pope (died 335): Saint-link ūnus, Saint-link duo, & Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: Wayback Machine. Quoth the Holy Redeemer bulletin:
The great churches at Rome by (the emperor) Constantine, e.g. the Basilica of St. John Lateran, Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, Old St. Peter's Basilica, & several cemeterial churches, were build over the graves of martyrs during his pontificate.
This is the same information presented last year in the bulletin, though the sentence has been rearranged, that is, the word order has been changed slightly. Fascinating!


Scripture of the Day
Mass Readings
The First Letter of John, chapter two, verses eighteen thru twenty-one;
Psalm Ninety-six, verses one, two, & eleven thru thirteen;
The Gospel according to John, chapter one, verses one thru eighteen.
