It was May 3, while in other times and places September 14. Apparently there were times when there were two celebrations, one on May 3rd, and a second later in the year on September 14. From what I discovered, mostly in books about Catholic piety and practices, as well as – I think – a Catholic site on daily feasts and saint days, it was in the 20th century that the two were combined, and September 14 became the day in the Catholic calendar (at least in the US, don’t know if it speaks for other countries).David Griffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629314279592541401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-53015665364644566692013-04-22T15:37:23.866-04:002013-04-22T15:37:23.866-04:00Roodmas is September 14?

I'm not trying to say you don't know what you're talking about. Just wanting to find the facts. And with there being a variation in date from that I got in my research, I thought I would try to varify one or the other.Blackrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796532876304913781noreply@blogger.com
