There is no mention of any observances of St. Catherine's Day, Nov. 25th, on Arachne yet. The Lace Guild in the UK places their symbol of a wheel of torture somewhere on the covers of every quarterly "Lace" bulletin. It is a reminder that she was tortured in this way. She is the patron saint of lacemakers. Our newest members may learn about her by accessing her name in our archives, and you may also search for a recipe of Cattern's cake, embedded in some of our old correspondence. On this day, it was a tradition to serve this cake, with tea, to lacemakers in some areas of the U.K. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html Just a thankful reminder that we stand on the shoulders of lacemakers who came before us.
