Legend Her legend states that she was converted by and martyred withProtus and Hyacinth, herChamberlains, during the persecution ofValerian. She was said to have been the daughter ofPhilip, "duke" ofAlexandriaand governor ofEgypt. She had fled her fa- ther's house dressed in men's clothing and was baptized by Helenus, bishop ofHeliopolis. She later became anabbot, still pretending to be a man. As the story goes, while she was an abbot and still dressing like a man, she cured a woman of an illness, and when the woman made sexual advances, which she rebuffed, the woman accused her publicly of adultery. She was taken to court, where, still disguised, she faced her father as the judge. At the trial, her real female identity was revealed and she was exonerated. Her father converted to the faith and became Bishop of Alexan- dria but the emperor had him executed for this. St. Eugenia and her remaining house- hold moved to Rome where she converted many, especially maidens, but this did not prevent their martyrdom. Protus and Hyacinth were beheaded on September 11, 258, and Eugenia followed suit after Christ appeared to her in a dream and told her that she would die on the Feast of the Nativity. She was beheaded on December 25, 258. Legacy There is a small village in the north ofPortugalwith the name ofSanta Eugeniathat contains achurchwith a painting of Saint Eugenia dressed as a boy in Romanera attire. A local legend states that Saint Eugenia passed through this area on a nearby Roman road and throughMoure, which lies at a major intersection of ancient Roman roads. There is also a tomb dating from about 1000 AD in the city ofBarcelos, high on a hill that reads "tomb of Saint Eugenia." It is possible that this tomb is the tomb of Saint Eugenia. During theMiddle Ages, some saints were moved fromRometo the outer parts of Europe by monks. Patrick J. Geary, in his workFurta Sacra, states that "on April 5, 838, a monk named Felix appeared atFuldaWith the remains of SaintsCornelius,Callistus,Agapitus,Georgius,Vincentius, Maximus,Cecilia, Eugenia,Digna,Emerita, andColumbana. 4 20 DECEMBER 2020 Extreme Makeover: Home Edition By Fr. Mark Haydu King David wants to build God a home! He had first built his own palace and afterward realized that he hadn’t built a space for GodNa place of worship and family communion. It is admirable that David wants to give back, but do we have to take care of God or, rather, is it God who cares for us? Obviously, God doesn’t need David to build him a house. The whole world is his. Didn’t God build up David all along, bringing him to a place where he might consider offering God something in return? It is like children who want to give their parents a gift. First, they ask a parent for money or a gift idea. On their own, they cannot give. God turns the tables on David, saying God will build David a houseNan everlasting lineage to rule over the people. God will build something much bigger than anything David had ever dreamt of. He will build David a kingdom that will become a nation and give birth to a worldwide universal Church. In the painting, The Annunciation with City by the Sea by Marco Palmezzano, Mary stands in front of an ornate house. She stands like us, at the entrance, welcoming God’s coming. It was her yes that allowed the master builder to enter into our world to begin building this house, which became a Church. Like Mary, we await Jesus. With her, let us say yes to him, celebrating the one who has established that house where we celebrate today! God turns the tables, saying God will build David a houseN an everlasting lineage to rule over the people. Is giving myself to God in prayer a way to let him accomplish his dreams for me? How can I offer hospitality to others so they can encounter God’s love? A Word from Pope Francis PRAYER Lord, you have called us The angel Gabriel calls Mary “full of grace”: in her there is no to be your instruments room for sin, because God of peace and reconcilia- chose her from eternity to be tion in the world.

  • General Editor's Introduction
    General Editor’s Introduction SUSAN STRYKER hat Perspectives on History, the house organ of the American Historical Asso- T ciation, recently ran a lengthy feature on “transgender studies and transgender history as legible fields of academic study” says a great deal about how transness has become a significant object of both disciplinary and interdisciplinary inquiry at this historical moment (Agarwal 2018). In their introduction to this special issue of TSQ on “trans*historicities,” guest editors Leah DeVun and Zeb Tortorici note the plethora of recent conferences, symposia, and journal issues on the contem- porary interconnectedness of the topics of transness, time, and temporality, and ask, “What is it about the gesture of comparison to the past—be it ancestral, asynchronous, or properly contextualized—that provokes such urgency now?” Perhaps urgency itself holds an answer to their question about the time- liness of trans*. In his celebrated theses on the philosophy of history, Walter Benjamin asserts that “to articulate the past historically does not mean to recognize it ‘the way it really was.’” In the present, rather, the past appears only as a fleeting image that can be grasped, or not, in the instant it appears in our vision, illuminated by the light of whatever calamities characterize the current moment. To write his- tory, Benjamin said, means “to seize hold of a memory as it flashes up at a moment of danger.” The danger he observed, writing in 1940 as the Nazis rolled over Europe, was all too clearly visible. He continued, “The tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the ‘state of emergency’ in which we live is not the exception but the rule.

  • Martyrology 12 09 19
    Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically.
