Today in the Roman calendar is the feast of St. Pius I, Pope and martyr (+155).
On such a glorious feast as this, I remind the readership of the wondrous
Our friend (who hasn’t been around much, come to think of it), the great Vincenzo (official photoshopper of Fr. Z’s Blog) put together a great clock with images of the Pii as the numbers.
(There are 12 Popes Pius… get it?)
A great gift for a priest or religious.
UPDATE: At that site there is a photo from my office at the good ol’ Sabine Farm (sniff). I brought my clock to the Steam Pipe Trunk Distribution Venue but I wound up giving my clock to a young priest. Then I got another, for the Cupboard Under The Stairs. Now, that clock died, and I’ve ordered another on the last day of 2019.

Once upon a time…
