Love this reflection! In the Visigothic calendar, Sixtus, Lawrence, and a St. Hippolytus (but not the antipope, a soldier converted by St. Lawrence) were all celebrated on August 10. Did you find any evidence of this co-commemoration? Normally Sixtus is celebated on the 6 or 7 and Hippolytus on the 13, it seems.
Oooo I love that co-commemoration in the Visigothic calendar! I recall seeing joint commemorations for Lawrence and the other martyred deacons (I believe he was one of seven deacons of Rome, and one of four who were martyred?) I'll doublecheck my notes and see what else I can find!
These are always a pleasure to read. I did have to do a happy dance with balsam and say to myself, “I have those” thanks for the added layer of meaning. The Marian title is our lady’s slippers
Ohhhh how perfect that you have balsam!! I love the way these plants have different nuances that speak to Marian symbolism as well as the other saints. So good!

Very interesting! I enjoy reading the lore of the saints and the seasons. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much, Rachael! I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying all these little reflections.
