Nb: I am posting this out of great interest. I am not posting it because I necessarily believe in angels! I neither believe in them nor disbelieve. But when this very interesting video showed up on my YouTube homepage, it reminded me of family traditions in my childhood. My grandmother on my father’s side ALWAYS brought the family together for a special family meal on the feast of St Michael. My grandmother always served a Michaelmas goose. Happy memories. – © Mark Alexander
