Notes on The Calendar
Apjril 25— St. Mark's Day— Anzac Day
The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, commonly called Lady Day, comes properly on March 25thj but when it falls m Easter Week, as it does this year, it is the old and obviously convenient custom to transfer to the first free day. The day when the Angel Gabriel brought God's message to the Virgin Mary, might be better observed with advantage. For one person m this country who knows that April 25th is St. Mark's Day a thousand know it as Anzac Day. It is curious to think that this year our new Anzacs will spend the day m or near Alexandria, of which St. Mark was the first bishop.
