St. Kentigern was a 6th or 7th century monk, also known in Scotland as the St. Mungo of Glasgow Cathedral. Mungo is just a nickname, meaning 'dearest friend'.

We visits bed that night in order to sleep. To some extent because of excited anticipation for day time of fishing ahead. But mostly unfortunately the eyes on the wolf rug seemed to glow from across the room, punctuated by a chorus outside our window to the pack.

Venice created on a bunch of 118 islands out of the coast, each morning Mediterranean Sea though many buildings were constructed on pilings rather than on the land itself. Across this lagoon of islands, you will discover 416 bridges and 177 canals. The S-shaped Grand Canal divides the city in three. Over this one canal, there are 3 ancient bridges still in use: Accademia, Scalzi (Ferrovia) and Rialto brg. The Calatrava bridge is only 4 years old but is already starting to deteriorate.

We were making a reasonable dent from a bag of varied cookies as we watched for Andrews rod to contract. It would move every once in awhile like someone tugging round the rope from a church bell.

In Britain, in the 4th century, people would also go to the graves as well as kinfolk and throw holy water or milk more than a graves to "feed the dead." This custom later mutated in the practice of giving children or the poor money as well as a baked good called a "soul cake" in exchange for prayers for the souls belonging to the dearly departed who were often believed to be stuck in purgatory. The original recipe for soul cakes is similar to shortbread, when you want to get authentic, offer the little visitors some shortbread at the. Watch them scream and run away, however as you bend over and gently ask to be able to pray for the soul of the dead uncle who is burning their flames of hell!!!
