Happy Feast of St. Cecilia, an early Roman martyr and patron saint of musicians. This is her original tomb, in the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, outside of Rome. (Her remains are now in the Basilica of St. Cecelia). Happy Feast to all musicians, music ministers, and to St. Cecelia's Parish in Boston.
