Happy Feast of the Circumcision of Baby Jesus
Circumcision by Francesco de Goya
Aside from being New Year's Day, 1st January was traditionally the day that marked the circumcision of Baby Jesus - perhaps one of the lesser-known of the Christian feast-days. And if you have a little time to spare, why not read up on the subsequent adventures of the Sacred Foreskin (or foreskins - don't ask me how that happened, I assume it must've been a miracle)?
