Round-Up: December 15

ReligiousReading.com. In conjunction with the Vulgate Verses book, I've posted about the Latin Bible phrase Alpha et Omega, a famous symbol in Christian art derived from the Book of Revelation.

AudioLatin.com: Proverbs: Here is the audio for 10 more Latin proverbs - just the audio, but there is a link to a page where you can get English translations and commentary on the proverbs, too. Today's group includes this great saying about quality versus quantity: Sola apis excellit muscarum milia quinque.

Latin Holiday Songs. For the holiday season, instead of a Latin Fable of the Day, I'm posting a "holiday song of the day" at the eClassics ning. Today's holiday song is XII (Duodecim) Dies Natalis, a Latin translation of the 12 days of Christmas song!

Here is a lovely image of the 12 Days of Christmas done by "Paula" at the ukexpert website.
