Thanksgiving for Columbus Day!

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Today we celebrate our 3rd Annual Thanksgiving for Columbus Day. The reason is that today is Canadian Thanksgiving and American Columbus Day. Columbus Day is a Catholic feast day which is very important for Catholics in these Americas (and the world) to celebrate. If you didn’t know this, start by reading about why Columbus Day is a Marian feast day. Then you can read some of the other texts from our Hispanidad series. (A reminder to our potential writers that Hispanidad is one of our editorial priorities – read all of them to find out why).

This year we decided to read through Quarto Abeunte Saeculo, the encyclical on Columbus by Pope Leo XIII. We also cover some of the basic points about why we need to celebrate Columbus and how we can answer the Marxists. See further below for our previous celebrations.
