Get Ready For Gesimatide

By Fr. Sean McDermott


Last year, Julie McDermott wrote a helpful piece on Gesimatide:


"Due to the busyness of these months, it’s easy to welcome this respite and let Gesimatide slip by without appreciation. Yet the season — first mentioned in a homily by St. Gregory the Great in the late 600s — is rich with meaning and purpose. So what does Gesimatide mean to Anglicans?"
