    From the Curate - Seasons and Colours The February edition of the magazine is published in the short period between the two groups of “seasons” which fill the first part of the church year. The “incarnation” group of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany finishes with Candlemas on 2nd February. The “Easter” group of Lent and Easter starts on Ash Wednesday – 9th February this year. This year we have a very early Easter on 27th March. Easter can occur on any date between 22nd March and 25th April. It’s quite rare for it to be in the first few or last few days of its range. In three years time, in 2008 it will be earlier still on 23rd March. That’s the earliest it has been for nearly a hundred years; it was last on that date in 1913. So, at least this year, there is still one Sunday between the seasons of Epiphany and Lent. Oddly, because 2008 is a Leap Year, there will also be one then. Normally, when Easter falls on 22nd or 23rd March, there are none. Green becomes the liturgical colour for these periods outside the seasons. These colours are used for the altar frontals and the stoles and other vestments worn by the clergy. At this time of year, when we have the three short seasons of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany followed by a short period of so called “ordinary time” and then Lent, we are changing the colours rather often. Vicki has a significant job of swapping things over! I sometimes wonder if anyone notices, other than a small band of “liturgical anoraks” – which of course includes the clergy.

  • Biography from History of Clay Co., Indiana, Vol. II
    <CENTER> <P> Biography from History of Clay Co., Indiana, Vol. II, <BR> au: William Travis, publ. 1909 <P></CENTER><CENTER><H3>Isaac Shelby HARGER</H3></CENTER> <PRE> Prominent among the representatives of industrial interests in Brazil is numbered Isaac Shelby Harger, a painter and a decorator with an extensive and growing business. His careful management, combined with his unwearied industry, constitute important elements in the success which he is now enjoying and have won for him a place among the substantial residents of his adopted city. He was in Bardstown, Nelson county, Kentucky, January 11, 1846, his birthplace being one of the historic points of the south and especially identified with the early founding of the Catholic church in that section of the country. In the earlier portion of the nineteenth century Bardstown had acquired such a standing as a center of education and culture as to he christened by Henry Clay the “Athens of the West.” In 1774 Bardstown was first settled as Salem, but when it was incorporated by the Virginia legislature four years later it adopted its present name. Its original settlers were English Catholics, and one explanation of its name is that among the earliest and most prominent were the Bairds. Later came the Jesuit missionaries, and the Sisters of Nazareth founded a seminary for the higher education of gentlemen’s daughters.” The town also became a large manufacturing center, and its importance as a center of industry and culture induced the pope to create it an episcopal see, the first west of the Alleghany mountains.
