#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #September27-#BirthdayCohort with @Avril Lavigne & @GwynethPaltrow & ... You?) on #Meskel | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

... or -on 'whichever of these holidays &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'

Holidays Calendar explains Roman Empress Saint Helena's recovery of The True Cross in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)

The word “Meskel” is Amharic for "Cross."

I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...

Today's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Libra ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Meat Loaf, Avril Lavigne, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lil Wayne, Wilford Brimley, comedian Marc Maron, Shaun Cassidy, Founding Father (U.S.) Samuel Adams ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)

(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
 about them) in the comments, thanks)

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating St. Vincent de Paul, with the clergy wearing White Vestments for the Memorial
