🐝 Irlands Bienen-Heilige St Gobnait wird heute gefeiert.🐝
Ein Besuch in Ballyvourney, wo sie im frühen Mittelalter Äbtissin war, lohnt sich aber zu jeder Jahreszeit. Ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten.😊

#Anaheim #mayor invites #queer, #trans #nuns group to #Anaheim #Angels #PrideNight

“Our #ministry is real. We #promulgate #universal #joy, expiate #stigmatic #guilt and our use of #religious #trappings is a response to those #faiths whose members would #condemn us and seek to strip away the #rights of #marginalized #communities,” Sister #RosiePartridge, described as the “#abbess” of the group, said in a statement.
