The Feast of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, O.C.D., Virgin and Martyr
is today. There is information on her here. A blessed feast day to all the Carmelites out there, especially to a a certain blogger and to my friend Sr. Claire Benedicta of the Cross, O.C.D. !

It is also the feast of Blessed Thomas Palaser, Priest and Martyr, and of Blessed Ceferino Jimenez Malla, Martyr, the first beatus of Romany ethnicity.
