Happy St. Ambrose Day!

Now that we have a little one named for this saint, it gives me more pause than I've ever done for this day in the season of Advent. We usually go right from Nicholas to Lucy, and now we have someone else in the mix.

We could celebrate by making a honey recipe:

or making something out of beeswax:

or studying his hymns:

or pondering this great quote:

"There is your brother, naked, crying, and you stand there confused over the choice of an attractive floor covering."
