I saw a somewhat inferior Boar’s Head Festival about a week ago, and I was rather irritated by the King. He just wasn’t Neil Skov! And I missed Amolsch as the little dude that opens it all up.

So, hello, Stiegemeyers! I have a blog, too, and would love it if you stopped by!

I would also encourage you to try out the Boar's Head Festival at Plymouth Congregational Church here in dear old Fort Wayne. It's a wonderful congregational tradition, with many of the same folks appearing year after year. It's fun, and, as you say, moving. Many of the old carols are sung. What's more, it takes place AFTER Christmas. This is good, as many liturgical churches have no Christmas before Christmas (you know, Advent), and then rush headlong into Epiphany. And Christmas is forgotten as suddenly as it appears. I, too, love a good Madridgal Feast.

For me, the presentation and emotion that is experienced really sets the stage for the Advent Season. Even reading your article brought me chills and tears at the mention of this annual event. My sister and I both played parts in the B-Festival while we were students at Concordia, Ann Arbor. Also, I believe every student, professor, and ticket holder who has ever participated in the "festival" during the past thirty years would quickly agree with you...Prof. Skov OWNS the part. Although we now must all wait another year for the "festival" to take place, if anyone reading this has never gone to see it...make your hotel reservations now and order your tickets in September...because each show is always SOLD OUT immediately! And Pastor, on a personal note...thanks for bringing a smile to my face during a difficult time.<br/>Love, Kathy Stanis Dear Pastor,

He set the tale to teach children about the virtue of generosity. St. Stephens feast day was celebrated on the 26 of Dec.,which is why it became a Christmas Carol.<br/>Thanks for helping me learn new things. A.
