Yea...I thought it was funny when I found out Sobieski was born in Lviv. Christendom certainly needs more Sobieskis today! Were you the one that sent the movie about the Winged Hussars? I really enjoyed it!

No, that was not me.

Another interesting factoid—the bakers in Vienna created the croissant during the siege of Vienna in 1673.

Croissant comes from the word for “crescent”, the symbol of the Ottoman hordes outside the gates.

Eating croissants kept everyone’s morale up.

Until you showed up and saved the day.
