Over on my other blog, I quoted some skiffy-sounding bits of Prudentius’ “Hymn for the Burial of the Dead” for Jim Baen’s passing, but people seem to have been searching for it over on this blog. So I’ve stashed the whole thing over on archive.org. The message is somewhat more traditional-sounding in context — a nice rundown of the temporary nature of the separation of soul and body, among other cool stuff.

UPDATE: I briefly had a post up for St. Athanasius’ Day. Took it down, because it was a different St. Athanasius — a Mt. Athos monk, not the famous Alexandrian bishop and Father of the Church. (The feast I meant was back on May 2.) I apologize if I misled anyone. Still, it’s great we have all these saints to celebrate, ne?
