St. John reproached Herod with his unlawful union. The adulterous Herodias and her shameless daughter Salome forced Herod to behead the Precursor. The Gospel of the Mass describes his martyrdom. (Mark 6:17-29)
Today is an important feast day in the Eastern Rite Churches. In fact, it's a fasting-feast (contradiction in terms?), which in the East means no meat or dairy products (which means no Milka chocolate!). It was quite rainy and dreary all day today so I have no pictures to share, but I do have good news. I caught a ride into Vienna to IKEA and picked up a blanket and pillows and other such stuff to make our flat finally a little more livable. It will be nice to sleep on a real down pillow tonight at last.
