Fiona, this is so wonderful - I've learned so much, and I'm excited to try this fermented cranberries recipe! The dissolution of guilds over time really breaks my heart again and again.
My last post confessed an ignorance to St Clements and lo your next post delivers.
What a wonderful history of the feasting traditions. You are quite right that in these dark months leading up to advent, there is definitely room for more feast days.
I don’t know if it’s just coincidental but both Cecilia and Clements proved somewhat impervious to drowning in their martyrdom. Cecilia requiring stab wounds to the neck and Clements to be weighed down by the anchor.
I’m neither case could their faith be sunk as their spirits were able to soar:
“Men call me Cecilia, but my most beautiful name is that of Christian.”
