For the ancient Celts, Men and Boys went out to kill a Wren — the bird of fertility — a ritual that taught about the sacredness of all blood shed so that others may live.

For Christians this day became the Feast of St Stephen, also known as Boxing Day — honoring the truth of the mature masculine — ones who give their heart (their effort and sweat) to provide for others, especially those in great need.

Today, listen to the Christmas Carol — “Good King Wenceslas” and consider who NEEDS your generosity.

Blessed 2nd Day of Christmas!
