Timely article, to some degree...

...as we consider a Patron Saint for our farm.

Saints in Demand In Russia

As a side, I don't buy what Alexander Kyrlezhev is saying here...whoever he is. I'd rather hear the OFFICIAL reasoning for St. Fyodor Ushakov's cannonization. Something tells me the Patriarch will not simply say: "He never lost a battle."

Where the heck do you get these stories?! I always enjoy them!

As for a patron saint for your farm, why not St. Seraphim of Sarov, who loved animals? Or St. Sergius of Radonezh, who, like St. Seraphim, had a pet bear?

And lastly -- why *goats*? I'd have gone for sheep, myself.

I get filtered mail delivered to me with the search term "Orthodox." Hence I am also well briefed in Jewish news matters too :)

Talk to Sue....we wanted dairy, but we never considered what sheep's milk might taste like.
