St. Matthews Day:
September 21st is the feast day of St Matthew the evangelist, who wrote his Gospel in about 44AD. He was recruited to the new faith by Jesus, when Christ was walking by the Sea of Galilee. Matthew was then known as Levi, the tax collector. He travelled to Ethiopia and Egypt in later life, achieving the mass conversion of Ethiopia via a miracle where the king’s son was brought back to life. In this country Matthew’s feast day is one of those with special significance as regards the weather, said to mark the time when the cold dew arrives, thus a dividing line in our climatic year.
