St Luke’s Day

The Horn Fair. Source: The Charlton Champion website

Today is St Luke’s Day. It was also the day of the Charlton Horn Fair, which had its roots in the Middle Ages. All attendees were supposed to attend dressed as King, Queen or Miller and with a set of horns on their head. The fancy dress commemorated a probably apocryphal story concerning bad King John who when on a hunt in Charlton, London, took rest at the abode of a local miller. The miller’s wife and the king took a mutual shine to each other and were soon copulating merrily when in burst the infuriated miller promising serious injury or death to the interloper. When the miller realised his rival was in fact the King of England, he changed his tune and begged for forgiveness for his threats. John graciously accepted the betrayed man’s apology and made amends by making the miller the lord of the manor and granting him a fair license. The revellers at the subsequent fairs wore horns to symbolise the cuckolding of the founder of the feast. The fairs, given such an origin, soon became cross-dressing debauched parties, leading to the suspension of the event in 1872. A better-behaved Horn Fair was later revived on the grounds of Charlton Hall.

Although it is tempting to seek pagan origins to this antlers-and-sex tradition, it is likely the fair-goers’ strange attire had more to do the ox being the symbol of St Luke than the probably fictional tale of a lascivious king, but an ancient animal sacrifice origin can’t be ruled out. Apparently good weather on St Luke’s Day will result in a spell of Indian Summer warmth.

Saint Luke propaganda!

First off he’s my patron saint so of course I want him to win >:D

He is the patron saint of artists, bookbinders, doctors, and ✨bachelors!✨There’s not a ton of stories about him because he’s very old, but you know “the gospel according to Luke?”That’s him! He may have been a slave, was one of the first people to convert to Christianity, Paul’s “beloved physician,” may have been the only gentile writer of the gospel, and many think he was the first to paint icons such as Mary! (plus he was in jail for a bit) It’s also thought he was a martyr but like I said, old as hell so we’re not sure!

His main symbols are books, brushes, and a winged bull. (Or ox, depends who you ask) He’s a massively important historian cause he literally wrote most of the Bible so yee

We actually have his head and body in different places, plus a rib in his tomb :D

Not sure if we’re allowed to put links but you can learn more about him here:

THERE is never a moment when Jesus is never THERE.

1st Rdg: Hebrews 7:25-8:6 Thursday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time | USCCB

The high priests that the First Reading speaks about were many, but even so, death ended their priesthood. Jesus holds his priesthood permanently. Consequently, He is able to save those who come to God through Him, because He lives forever to intercede for us with God the Father.

It is hard to say which of St. Paul’s letters is the most important. Since his letter to the Hebrews is about the priesthood, I would say it’s one of the top three. And verse 25 is the heart of the entire letter.

Verse 25 says: “Therefore, he is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he lives forever to make intercession for them.”

This is the high priest we need – an enduring priest. The priests of Jesus’ time were called Levitical priests and they could not be for the people what they needed. They put the rules first, remember all those arguments Jesus had with the Pharisees?

The people needed a high priest who was luminous and holy and completely innocent and eternally able to bring us to be with His Father in Heaven. THAT COULD ONLY BE JESUS.

There isn’t a second, an hour or a time of your life when Jesus is not able or willing to save you or I. His power to save is limitless, yes is true. The grace of God in Christ extends further than you can imagine, to the deepest, most outrageous sin that you have ever committed. His grace is sufficient for you. The devil will always try to shame us into thinking that He is a vengeful and merciless God but remember His words “For the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Lk 19:10).

“Jesus is always able to save those who approach God through Him.” (Heb 7:25) One of the key responsibilities of a priest is to make atonement for the sins of the people. That is to offer personal sacrifices, like fasting and the insults that sometimes they receive from their people as atonement for them. Jesus does this atonement perfectly. We go through God through the person of Jesus. He is the one who brings us into God’s glory.

There is never a moment when Jesus is never “there”.

I remember back in Wisconsin in the Seminary when we were studying Hebrews and someone asked a professor, “What would you do if you knew Jesus was in the next room praying for you? The professor told the seminarian: “Hebrews 7:25 tells us Jesus is in the next room praying for you: The next room is eternity.

He prays a prayer of absolution for you when you ask forgiveness for your past sin. He prays when you sin in the present moment hoping that you will repent.

And He prays that you will not fall into temptation.

That is what living forever to make intercession for you means.

We all wander away from our Father, but he always joyously runs to meet us & embrace us when we return to him.  I squandered many of the gifts & opportunities God offered to me, but he never stopped watching & waiting for my return.  And I am so glad I came back to him.

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist, without whom we would not have the parable of the Prodigal Son.  I hope you will join me today in thanking our Lord for giving us a lesson so full of hope, mercy, and inspiration for all of us who go astray.  God bless you
