Sunday, February 6: St. Dorothy

Saint Dorothy is the patron saint of our sisters.
Yesterday at Kindergarten half smaller than the Troop had a moment of prayer with the blessing of the apples on the table today, then we have shared all 6.

Here is the story of St. Dorothy, which is celebrated with St. Theophilus:
lived and died in the fourth century, Dorothy, a native of Caesarea in Cappadocia, was distinguished for his charity, purity and wisdom, the fame of his virtues came to saprice headmaster, who had called and invited her to sacrifice to the gods, but being a Christian, Dorothy refused, so he was tortured. But saprice is stubborn and determined to get his way, relying on the two sisters apostate, Christ and Callista with a mandate to do apostatize too. But the reverse is true, Dorothea, who will persuade the sisters to return to Christianity; saprice angrily condemned the two sisters to be burned alive and Dorothy to be beheaded.
On the way to the place of martyrdom, met Dorothy Theophilus, young 'school', as classified in various texts, making fun says: "Bride of Christ, send me apples and roses from the garden of your husband," Dorothy daring promises.
While praying, before she was killed, she sees a child who bears three beautiful roses and three apples, and she tells him to take them to Theophilus, and these friends was telling his bravado, when he was presented with the child, was the February, and certainly not the roses were blooming; Teofilo remains confused, by the work of the Grace of God, and then suddenly says he believes that the Christian God is real and unique.
Friends, first believe that he jokes, then denounced it as it insists on saprice, these calls him to court and try to persuade him to be more consistent with his beliefs, but does not recede Teofilo in professing the faith and therefore is tortured on the stand, stripped, and finally beheaded.
The cult s. Dorothy was very popular throughout the Middle Ages and was cited as one of the Holy Helpers. Many famous artists from the fourteenth century, they created paintings and sculptures, spread all over Europe, who represent almost all the episode of apples and roses "(from Saints and Beati ) Along with the apple

blessed, the children took home a package with a beautiful poem by Mahatma Gandhi:

Get a smile

give it to those who have not ever had.

Get a sunbeam,

foul fly where night reigns.

find a source,

ago who lives in the wet mud.

Get a tear,

posala on the face of those who did not cry.

Take courage,

put it in the souls of those who can not fight.

Discover life

tell it to those who can not understand it.

Take the hope

and live in its light.

Get goodness

and send it to people who can not donate.

Discover love

and have it known to the world.
