    Happy St. Jerome's Day!!

    September 30, 2009

    And how will YOU be celebrating the day of St. Jerome, patron saint of librarians everywhere?  I shall be using my free day to STILL come into work early so as to defend the books I love on the 2009 100 Books for Reading and Sharing committee.  Yourself?

    Remember, a good offense is the best defense! Having a sword helps, too. (Or maybe I just like swords.)

    Odd tidbit: Your husband Matt's grandparents, Jack and Catherine Murphy, were married at St. Jerome's Church in the Bronx on December 5, 1942. They went on to raise a whole houseful of readers. We then raised two readers of our own. I have the feeling that in the future you and Matt will find yourselves raising yet more readers.

    Tag, you're it!

    Or, we could alternatively name our son "Jerome" someday . . . or maybe not.

    Nice picture of Jerome, and with a lion, to boot. Patience? Fortitude?

    Fuse #8 commented:

    Well put. But the lion is oddly small. Either it's far in the distance or Mr. Jerome found himself The World's Smallest Lion. Lambert, perhaps.

    Christine Murphy Bird commented:

    What is the lion doing in the picture?

    St. Jerome is translating the Bible from its original languages into Latin, which was, at the time, the Vulgate--it was not yet a dead language.

    The lion is the symbol of St. Mark, who, according to tradition, wrote the first of the Gospels. I believe this cute little lion appears in the painting as a kind of mascot.

    A line in Ghost Busters now makes so much more sense to me. Thanks, Betsy!
