We are not like the men of St. Neot or the men of St. Udy, who are for ever importuning Thee upon the least occasion, praying at all hours and every day of the week. Thou knowest it is only with extreme cause that we bring ourselves to trouble Thee. Therefore regard our moderation in time past, and be instant to help us now. Amen. |
Subject: RE: BS: St Piran's Day [5th March] From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 05 Mar 08 - 06:50 AM I just saw this post on a harp email group I belong to - don't think he'll mind if I quote his message: Happy St. Piran's Day to you all. For those of you unfamiliar with this saint, he is the patron of tin miners and the patron saint of Cornwall. For more information see http://www.st-piran.com/st-piran.htm An appropriate way to celebrate would be (1) to eat a Cornish Pasty http://www.cornishpastyassociation.co.uk or http://www.cornishlight.co.uk/cornish-pasty.htm (2) to look at Charles Winpenny's wonderful daily photos of Cornwall http://www.cornwallcam.co.uk (3) to explore Cornish music at www.an-daras.com lots of Cornish tunes with midi files, etc. (4) to play Cornish tunes on the harp. |
