Perhaps a slightly...uncomfortable...topic for a festival!
Looking at the reading (
Matthew 14.1-12) today, I was struck by Herod offering Herodias' daughter 'whatever she might ask'.
It strikes me that giving all of your principles and morals into someone else's hands makes for...uncomfortable...possibilities!
Perhaps a topic for reflection today?
(I was also slightly tickled by the fact today's collect has the line 'and receive with him the unfading crown of glory', when we're remembering him being beheaded...but that's another post altogether, I think!)
