There was a "cooking with the saints " class at church. They made hot cross buns and somehow connected them with St. Gerard Majella.
St. Gerard is Spanish and the patron of expectant mothers. Hot cross buns are of English origin and a Lenten sweet. Perhaps the question "Do you have a bun in the oven"? is the connection!
So should I remember pregnancy or Lent. Lets g with pregnancy.
The only pregnancy I am intimately aware of was Paula's.
As far as I remember the first months of her first pregnancy was without incident. i don't even remeber her getting morning sickness, then again I was in Germany while she was in Belgium. With the second pregnancy we were in Philadelphia, one scary moment was after some one hit her broadside in our SAAB.
Both pregnancies produced healthy sons! for that I a thankful to St. Gerard!
And the hot cross buns were delicious!
