The Twelfth Day of Christmas

The End

Tomorrow Epiphany season begins. We got Kings Bread today, for tomorrow. We visited St. Gallen with two young American guests, particularly to see the World Heritage Abbey Library. (We - Better Half and I - also survived  a very scary accident, wholly by the grace of God, before that. NEVER neglect to ask for protection in your prayers.) Late now, so pictures of our tour will have to wait. 
Here is just a foretaste.



Carved ivory book cover



Huge illuminated manuscript 


An enamel and gold book cover. It’s behind glass, so the photo quality is diminished. 



….With the city in its Christmas finery and lights for one more day. Everything comes down after Epiphany. 
It was a lovely time to visit the city, on the Twelfth Day.
