TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Although our Puritan forebears at Plymouth Rock were almost a hundred years removed from their Catholic roots, the old liturgical calendar still had an unconscious claim on their hearts. We've already seen how on Saint Martin's Day, November 11, me-dieval continental Europe observed a great harvest day of Thanksgiving, with games, dances, parades, and a festive dinner of roast goose. With the goose went ample draughts of "Saint Martin's Wine," the first wine of the new harvest. Martinmas celebrated full barns and larders stocked for the winter. Even after the Reformation, the tradition of eating goose on Saint Martin's Day was retained in Holland, and it was there that our Pilgrims encountered this tra-dition. When Governor Bradford sent four hunters out into the Massachusetts wilderness in the au-tumn of 1621, they did indeed find some geese and ducks, and were persuaded by the indigenous peo-ple to try turkey, too. Just as the liturgical calendar has been tweaked over the years, President Roosevelt moved Thanks-giving to the third Thursday in November in 1939, probably to extend the Christmas shopping season. The protest was so great that in 1941 the day estab-lished by President Lincoln, the last Thursday in November, was restored. If the Pilgrims had known of the Martinmas connection, they might never have celebrated at all! --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En 1917 México recibió una nueva Constitución en la cual se estableció una política de intoleran-cia religiosa, especialmente en contra de la Iglesia católica romana. Con el pasar de los años las nor-mas anticlericales fueron puestas en vigor hasta el punto que algunos mexicanos piadosos y cris-tianos decidieron defender su religión. En marzo de 1925, estos mexicanos católicos fundaron la Liga Nacional para la Defensa de la Libertad Religiosa, en el mismo mes en que el papa Pío XI proclamó la Fiesta de Cristo Rey, celebrada el último domingo del año litúrgico. Inspirados por el grito de "¡Viva Cristo Rey!", los fieles se convirtieron en Cristeros, muchos de los cuales dieron su vida por Cristo, demostrando así que Jesús es verdaderamente el Rey de sus vidas. La Cristiada duró sólo tres años en México y mu-chos sacerdotes, religiosas, religiosos, laicas y laicos dieron su vida para la gloria de Cristo Rey en México. Con el tiempo muchos cristianos y cristianas han debido repetir el martirio de los Cristeros en pases de Centro y Sudamérica. El siglo XX derramó mucha sangre cristiana en Lati-noamérica. "¡Viva Cristo Rey!" --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc
