Ep 145 Mother Katherine: Holy Myrrhbearers, Batman!
Listen now
Description
We’re not taking you to church, but we are going to a monastery (you never thought we’d start a podcast with that one, I bet).   Join us, as we talk to Mother Katherine at the Holy Myrrhbearers Monastery in Otego, New York.  Join us, and over 50 sheep, 12 goats, 3 chickens, and a guardian dog.  And Mother Katherine runs the whole livestock department, if you believe that. One of the most interesting people we’ve ever met.  All that, and her fellow sisters knit a mean pair of woolen socks – to order.  Call them if you don’t believe us, or if you want some, too.  (607) 432-3179 Links: https://holymyrrhbearers.com/monastery.html https://www.oca.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sephardi_Jews https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monastery https://www.thegrowlerguys.com/belgium-and-beyond-the-trappist-breweries-and-beers/ https://www.britannica.com/topic/Asclepius Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)
