A Blessed Season to you all!

[RKBA Democrat]

A beautiful celebration is coming up. For the Byzantine and Ukranian Catholics as well as the Orthodox, this is a very important day.

Crux fidelis!
inter omnes
arbor una nobilis;
nulla talem silva profert,
flore, fronde, germine.
Dulce lignum, dulci clavo,
dulce pondus sustinens!

Flecte ramos, arbor alta,
tensa laxa viscera,
et rigor lentescat ille,
quem dedit nativitas,
ut superni membra Regis
miti tendas stipite.

Faithful cross! Above all other,
One and only noble tree:
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be.
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron,
Sweetest weight is hung on thee.

Bend thy boughs, oh Tree of Glory,
Thy relaxing sinews bend.
For awhile the ancient rigor
That thy birth bestowed, suspend,
And the Heavenly King of beauty
Gently on thine arms suspend.

- Venantius Fortunatus (530-609)

Can you fix the title? Should read: Exaltation of the Glorious Cross - September 14

Thank you!
