The Religion group as well as the Catholicism & Orthodox Christianity subgroup have been very dull

in the last months.
The Catholicism subgroup was usually full of new articles with all manner of subjects, a group to which I subscribed.

May the angels lead her into paradise; may the martyrs come to welcome you;

and take you to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem.

I've heard that Dollar Store is good for cards, and calendars, etc.

They aren't on my usual route for shopping, so I have to weigh convenience with price.

I'd rather spend the $3.50 to $5.00 on a birthday treat for the honoree than on a card.
