Same in the Roman Church - but not every day is a _holy_ day.

Yeah. You get a buildup of saints after a while - and people forget what they did or why they're saints. Or how on Earth or Heaven _anyone_ could consider them saintly! ;) If the Telerani had a calendar of saints, it would certainly be clogged with multiple saints on every day. Well, of course, the Christian Telerani _do_ have such a calendar, and it _is_ clogged with multiple saints! :) Padraic. ===== la cieurgeourea provoer mal trasfu ast meiyoer ke 'l andrext ben trasfu. -- Ill Bethisad -- <http://www.geocities.com/elemtilas/ill_bethisad> Come visit The World! -- <http://www.geocities.com/hawessos/> .
