Saint Jean Baptiste, a Jewish preacher who baptized Jesus in the river Jordan.   He became the patron Saint of Quebec and French speaking Canada.    It’s officially known in Quebec as  “La fete Nationale.”  a holiday celebrated annually on June 24th,  today!     Long ago a prominent French Canadian  journalist attended St Patrick’s Day celebration  in Montreal and was inspired to create such an event for the French Canadians.   And so this started, it’s like the 4th of July in the USA.  Because of my French Canadian roots and the good feeling in my gut on June 24th, it’s a very nice day.  The weather has always been good on that day from what I remember, June is a most wonderful month in Quebec.

And so it started.  So to me, because of my roots in Montreal, it’s a good day.
