St. Luke's Day

St. Luke is traditionally identified as a doctor and a friend of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He is also supposedly the first painter to paint a portrait of Mary. If he was a doctor, a painter, and a writer, as we know he was, of the Gospel and Acts, this man was multi-talented. He had more than a few fish and loaves in his basket.

Pray to St. Luke is you are bachelors, bookbinders, brewers, butchers, from Capena, Italy, glassmakers, glass workers, gold workers, goldsmiths, from Hermersdorf, Germany, lace-makers, lace workers, notaries, sculptors, painters, and stained glass workers.

Amazing....
