Customs of Christendom

    • Our Lady of Good Success said that in our time many customs would be lost. I definitely see that. Even from when I was a young girl there were many more customs then what we we today.
    Are there any customs that came from Christendom that you remember. I would like to revive some in our family.
    I know one that I am going to implement when my children are at that age is courtship...like the way you saw it done in the Godfather movie.

    • Reading the story of the saint of the day. Every day you have a choice from a few different saints, for example you pick a saint that might be more attractive to children, or a saint from the Carmelite calendar, the Benedictine, etc. or the saint of the Mass of the day.
    When my children were growing up, we would read from a book of the early martyrs. It was a TAN publication. They just loved it.

    • I guess I mean more social customs...maybe there is a book and maybe the dynamics of family life...I remember reading a historical book that spoke of children standing while the parents ate, although I wouldn't so that it shows the difference in how parents were respected compared to today where children are little  princes/ princesses and grow up disrespectful and spoiled.

    • You mean like 'Children should be seen and not heard'?
    I've heard that said a few times.

    • Viva posted this how-to video.
    Is this an example of a custom, admittedly Irish, that you refer to?

    Better the way it was done in The Quiet Man.

    We stand to say our before and after meal prayers.  We have a Happy Birthday cake on Christmas and open presents on the Epiphany.  We always start and end the day giving eachother a morning hug and kiss (yes, even the children to eachother).  We wear Sunday best to Church, too.
