#Saints' Days on the #HeartOfTheNation-Catholics' Calendar (2021) @MySundayMass | @SJSoftware @Bing

on
Heart of the Nation notes these saints' days on the calendar I wrote-about in a post linked through 'the main word' below. Here, I list a few 'root-words' that tie that word into our lexicon....
The word "Saints" is built on ancient words that mean "|Consecrate" (Sacred). #Saintly #Saint #Sainted #SaintAnthonysHospital #SaintJudesHospital #SaintElsewhere #Sainthood #SaintsPreserveUs #SaintsAlive


I'm not sure why, but HOTN puts some (select-few of the many) names in italics
 and some in bold; so I'll go ahead and do that below, &
maybe find-out/remember why*---it looks like it has some-
thing to do with 'the degree of celebration'---"Memorial"s
 in BOLD, "Optional Memorial"s in ITALICS,
 and 'national holidays' in REGULAR TEXT.
Skipping the few I've missed, we'll start on
January 27---St. Angela Merici, 28---St. Thomas Aquinas, 30----Blessed Virgin Mary (I know she might not be "a saint"; but HOTN writes 'Blessed Virgin Mary' the same way it writes many other saints' names, so maybe we celebrate her as 'the Queen of the Saints' on most Saturdays)
