Leo this morning at the Martyrs Roman Martyrs Teódulo, Saturnino,
Euporio, Gelasius Euniciano, Zótico, Pontius, Agatopio, Basilides and Evaristo,
which, during the persecution under Emperor Decius, not wanting to sacrifice
publicly at the dedication of the temple of the goddess Fortuna,
suffered torments and were beheaded (year 250).
Apart from wondering what bird they would put names to these poor fellows, by which merit consideration as martyrs in life, I smile to know the reason for his sacking ... today is the "morning after" hangover from the great Feast of Christmas, the goddess Fortuna.
say that the goddess Fortuna is the Great Feast of Christmas, because, for some, Christmas is just the excitement of the day 22 and in two or three and some drunken binges. And, of course, all this just tired and frustrated, "even if you win the lottery, the livers are not forever", no wonder there are people who viscerally hates Christmas. Because in fact do not hate Christmas, but the strange holiday lights, sound and consumption that have come to supplant it, and idols of the guidance: the statue of Fortuna or Mammon that, generally, more incense and lights are place, eventually you get back ... (So \u200b\u200bif you are not the bundle and you get ... a little below).
In short, these types of funny name who gave everything, even life, rather than be dreaming and dull by vanity, help us to live the true Christmas, which does not put his purpose in having, or the fatuous illusion of hoarding and consumption , but put off by others. Rather than asking a lot and go crazy to see what we are going to bring St. Nicholas and the Magi, ask for the gift of knowing how can we be Kings San Nicolas or for others, every day of the year.
