* SALE ENDS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2020 * How did you spend Lent last year? Ours was a bit crazy, as we were still on our cross-country trip. We did what we could, but it wasn’t as rich – from a faith perspective – as I would have liked. This year, I’ve been working to get ahead and am planning…

His life is celebrated in the modern, and popular, Santa Claus – where even his name (saint translated as Santa, Nicholas shortened to Claus) reminds us of who we are truly honoring. Born in 280…
