Sounds good! It’s just getting nice and dark out here on the west coast.
The event is also known as "The Tears of St. Lawrence."
Laurentius, a Christian deacon, is said to have been martyred by the Romans in 258
AD on an iron outdoor stove. It was in the midst of this
torture that Laurentius cried out:
"I am already roasted on one side and, if thou wouldst have me well cooked,
it is time to turn me on the other."
The saint's death was commemorated on his feast day, Aug. 10.
King Phillip II of Spain built his monastery place the "Escorial,"
on the plan of the holy gridiron. And the abundance of shooting stars
seen annually between approximately Aug. 8 and 14 have come to be known as
St. Lawrence's "fiery tears."
