The famous Perseid Meteor Shower falls are the time of the Feast of St. Lawrence. Thus, they are called the “Tears of St. Lawrence”.
From SpaceWeather:
PERSEID METEOR SHOWER–THIS WEEK: Earth is entering a stream of debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Forecasters expect meteor rates to peak at 100+ per hour on the night of Aug. 12-13 when our planet passes through the heart of the debris stream. Perseids produce more fireballs than any other meteor shower of the year, so stay tuned for a good show. [meteor radar]
Speaking of the Perseids, check out an engaging “apocalyptic” series by Steven Konkoly. It begins with The Jakarta Pandemic (UK HERE).
It goes on with The Perseid Collapse (UK HERE)
