History
A long time ago in England, there
were two brothers. They were both named Ewald and they were both priests. One
was called, “Ewald the Dark” (or "Ewald the Black") because his hair was dark, and the other was
called “Ewald the Fair” because his hair was blond. They went to Germany as
missionaries and spent each day praying and celebrating Mass together. But this
terrified the pagans who did not want to give up their false religion. So, they
murdered both Ewalds and threw their bodies into the Rhine river. Miraculously,
their bodies floated against the current for 40 miles with a heavenly light
shining above them. A friend of theirs found their bodies and had them properly
buried.
Activity
Honor both Saint Ewalds today with
a Saint Ewalds Float. Put a spoonful of vanilla ice cream in a glass. Pour in
about a half cup of cream soda and mix thoroughly. Then fill the glass to
within an inch of the rim with more cream soda. Float a small scoop of vanilla
ice cream and a small scoop of chocolate ice cream on top for Ewald the Fair
and Ewald the Dark.
