Friday 19 January 2007
On the 19th of every month the church around the corner holds a little market, selling rosaries, saint medals, candles, and novenas. It is held to honor Saint Expiditus, an Armenian in the Roman army who converted to Christianity then mysteriously died. He is now the patron saint to Urgent and Just Causes, and is evidently well-loved in the Once neighborhood. There were hundreds of people there this morning, lighting candles and offering prayers.
