Legend has it that a swarm of bees lit upon the face of Ambrose after his birth—not to sting him but to leave a single drop of honey behind as a prophecy about the future power of his preaching. The honey-tongued St. Ambrose also had a significant impact on sacred music through the composition of hymns and psalm tones that are known to this day as Ambrosian chant. Maybe I should play this to my bees!

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
Dear Marie, The soothing sounds of the Ambrosian chant is unique. Thank you for posting it. I am now following your blog it is very nice. Blessings, Catherine
