We interrupt our regularly scheduled blogposts to wish you and yours a very happy King/Saint Wenceslas Day, a national holiday here in the Czech Republic. Please do enjoy this rendition of "Good King Wenceslas." Vicki notes that the song is more properly associated with St. Stephen's Day, December 26th, which became, for the Brits and all Brit-kind, Boxing Day. Go figure. We are celebrating by staying indoors all day in a rather rainy and chilly Prague.
For a most entertaining history of the hymn, do watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYnCon4aME8&ab_channel=M.LaserHistory.
