    Yea, cheers for Rogation Days, and spiritual preparation for the Ascendion, praying with Our Lady and the Apostles in the Upper Room! S. John’s Gospel Ch. 14-17 as wonderful spiritual reading, and we might imagine these are the teachings Our Lord conveyed to the Apostles that S. John recalled later after Pentecost. Yea! Zephyrinus, yea, Rogation Days, yea the Retreat in the Upper Room!

    And a beautiful painting of a Rogation Procession by Jules Breton, thank you, from the Zephyrinus National Gallery of Art! -Comment by Dante P.
