Feast day of St. Luke

Today, October 18, happens to be the feast day of St. Luke. Coincidence? Hopefully not!

I was honestly pretty unfamiliar with who St. Luke actually was until we decided to use Luke as our child's name. I knew he wrote a gospel, and I knew he was pretty tight with St. Paul, but that's about it. I didn't know he wrote Acts of the Apostles also, was a physician, and that he was the only Gentile Christian to write a gospel. He is patron of physicians and surgeons.

Here's a good page with lots of information!

Today would be a good day, little Luke Michael. :-)
