Palliative Care

Whispers covers a tradition I'd never heard of: the blessing of lambs for St. Agnes' day.
a lamb is the traditional symbol of the day's patron, whose name is the feminine form of "Agnus," and it's from the shorn wool of the blessed sheep that the Benedictine Sisters of S. Cecilia in Trastevere weave the year's crop of pallia, the ancient insignia proper to metropolitan archbishops.

Baa.
