Nine Months Until Christmas

Since it is Holy Week, the great feast of the Annunciation is deferred. Yet by the calendar it is nine months until the birthday of Christ, a day of most special significance to the Equester Ordo and to the Saga.

And despite it being Holy Week, I will announce the Good News that part 12 of the Saga, entitled Esto Miles Pacificus, is now available! See here for details.

In case you are wondering, the title comes from the formula for the making of a Knight:

Esto miles pacificus, strenuus, fidelis, et Deo Devotus.

Be a knight of peace, vigorous, faithful, and devoted to God.

[From De Benedictione Novi Militis (For the Blessing of a New Knight) in Pontificale Romanum]

If you want to know more about that ritual, you can find it here.

I am sure you will want to know more - but if you do, you will need to read the book.
