Religious Holidays
SAINT PETER AND SAINT PAUL DAY is a feast celebration in honor of these two apostles who followed Christ. Peter fought through his challenges in faith to become “the rock” on which the church would be built. Paul, a scholar, and devout Jew had been a persecutor of the church who “saw the light” when Christ appeared to him. He then brought the message of God’s salvation to the gentiles. Both were martyred for their faith. Peter was to be crucified, but he asked to be done so upside down – he did not feel worthy enough to be crucified like the LORD. Paul was beheaded in Rome.
Invention and Information
It is also NATIONAL WAFFLE IRON DAY. What a great contraption! It makes cooking breakfast a little more fun and gives us those delicious waffles that you can do so much with.
It’s time to break out the Brownie for NATIONAL CAMERA DAY. While we may not use Brownies, Polaroids, or 110’s anymore, just about everyone has a camera on their phone, so, snap a few pics today of whatever catches your eye.

What do you get when you combine chocolate and toffee? Why, NATIONAL ALMOND BUTTERCRUNCH DAY, of course. This candy does take a little know-how and experience to make, but the results are certainly worth the effort.
