 Christian Holiday:

Today is traditionally observed as a day of reflection for the life of St. Mellitus, one of the first missionaries to England and the first Bishop of London. He played a vital role in the Christianization of Anglo-Saxon England, especially during the early 600s. Let his boldness to carry the Gospel remind us to be unashamed in our faith!

 National Holidays:

 National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day – A great opportunity to inspire the next generation, teach work ethics, and create lasting memories with your children!

 National Pigs in a Blanket Day – Whether you're making them from scratch or picking up a quick treat, this comfort food is perfect for sharing and celebrating small joys.

 History & Heritage:

 On April 24, 1800, President John Adams signed the legislation that established the Library of Congress, now the largest library in the world. What began with just a few books has grown into a treasure of knowledge and history!

 On this day in 1916, the Easter Rising began in Dublin, Ireland—a significant moment in Irish history as rebels sought independence from British rule. It was a pivotal event in the heritage of Ireland’s struggle for sovereignty.

 Thought for the Day:

Whether you're flipping through a library book, working side by side with your child, or grabbing a warm snack, remember that everyday moments can reflect God’s goodness. Let your light shine today in all you do, just like St. Mellitus did long ago.

 Scripture Inspiration (KJV):

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

— Matthew 5:16
