We have no Saints to honor for a few days, but today is Columbus Day, the anniversary of the date when Admiral Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas (the Bahamas, to be specific) on October 12, 1492 according to the old Julian calendar and on October 21, 1492 according to the modern Gregorian Calendar. And since today is the second Monday in October, today is Columbus Day (Observed), and Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Also, today would be another day of Early Voting for the Gubernatorial Primary Election on October 24th, except that today is a Federal holiday.
