Calendar

The Fellowship of St James puts out a lovely calendar for the church year. It includes many many saints days. It includes feast days according to both the Eastern and Western calendars. There is usually a brief quote from a church father, chosen to fit with the month's artwork. Most months also include little snippets of information; this month's was about themes from the Jewish calendar being carried over into the Christian calendar (such as Yom Kippur and Holy Cross Day).

Each month's art typically fits with the church year. The pictures are most often woodcuts, but not always. This calendar is not good for keeping track of appointments; there's not enough writing space in the little boxes. But other than that, it's quite a find. And it's affordable. But it would be more affordable if you can find a neighbor who wants one too, and you can piggy-back your orders.
