Subject: [M-R] saints of the day 25. March
Today (25. March) is also ordinarily the feast day of:
1) The Good Thief (d. ca. 30). To omit this Gospel figure (Luke 23:39-43),
medievally also familiar from the Gospel of Nicodemus (where he accompanies
Christ in the Harrowing of Hell), would be a dismal thing to do.

<groan> I can't help but suspect your primary motivation for including him
was an opportunity for that dismal pun, John.
