This noble Roman Virgin suffered martyrdom at the age of thirteen rather than lose the treasure of her virginity; she was beheaded in 304. Her name is inscribed in the Canon of the Mass.
Sorry the posts have been sparse as of late - our internet connection has been acting up again and we’ve been able to spend only limited time online. Fish Eaters has some fun information on customs surrounding the Feast of St. Agnes. It seems that some North African air has ventured across the Mediterranean Sea and has made it all the way to Gaming, thus warming things up here considerably. The last few days here have been like Spring. The snow has all melted, and when the sun is high it is downright warm. We took Maria for a walk down river today to see if we could spot any ducks, and perhaps even feed them.

Maria looks so grown up. How tall is she?
Maria is now 77 cm tall, or approximately 2 feet, 6 and 1/2 inches tall.
