Today is the First Friday of the month, dedicated to devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Today is the Optional Memorial of Saint Blaise, Bishop and Martyr (died 316) and the Optional Memorial of Saint Ansgar, Bishop (died 865). This day is also Four Chaplains Day, the Day The Music Died in 1959, and, since today is the first Friday in February, today is National Wear Red Day.
