New York City's Transit Authority seems to have a problem with Christianity, but supports cosmetic surgery.
I recently saw both of these adverts on New York City subways. Leaving aside the question of whether it's appropriate for something like the plastic surgery advert to be prominently displayed where children routinely are present, should one assume the MTA endorses breast augmentation, or simply that it has a problem with Christians? It had never occurred to me before that the MTA was endorsing any product or service advertised on trains, buses, or stations.

14th July (1st July O.S.):
CARILEFUS (CARILEPHUS, CARILEFF, CALAIS), a companion of St. Avitus (27th January), and founder of the monastery of Anisole in Maine (present-day France). He reposed circa A.D. 536.CASTUS AND SECUNDINUS, two saints who were greatly venerated in the south of Italy. They were born in Sinuessa (Mondragone) near Caserta, and reposed circa A.D. 305.CEWYDD, St. Cewydd lived in Anglesey (Ynys Môn), Wales and at Lancaut, Gloucestershire, in England. Nothing further is known of his life.DOMITIAN, born in Rome and orphaned while still young, he became a monk at Lérins, and later founded the monastery of Bebron, now St. Rambert de Joux. St. Domitian reposed A.D. 440.EPARCHIUS (CYBAR), a nobleman from Périgord who renounced his title to become a monk at Sessac. He reposed A.D. 581.GALL, a monk originally from Auvergne who was ordained to the diaconate by St. Quintian (13th November), Bishop of Clermont. St. Gall was the uncle and teacher of St. Gregory of Tours (17th November). He reposed A.D. 554.JULIUS AND AARON AND COMPANIONS, according to SS. Gildas the Wise (29th January) and Bede the Venerable (25th May), SS. Julius and Aaron were martyred, along with others - including St. Alban (20th June) - during the persecution of Diocletian. They are believed to have suffered at Caerleon-on-Usk (near present-day Newport, Gwent, Wales) circa A.D. 305, and are venerated as the Protomartyrs of Wales.JUTHWARE, (Seventh Century), St. Juthware was the sister of St. Sidwell (2nd August). They were most likely of British, not Anglo-Saxon, descent, and appear to have lived in Devonshire prior to the Wessex Anglo-Saxons overtaking the area.LEONORIOUS (LUNAIRE), a son of Hoel, King of Brittany, who was born in Wales and consecrated bishop by St. Dyfrig (14th November). He later went to Brittany, then ruled by his brother Hoel II, where he founded the monastery of Pontual, near Saint Malo.

There is a connexion asserted between St. Servan and St. Kentigern Mungo (13th January) which leads us to conclude that there were most likely two saints of the same name, one of whom lived a century before the other.THEODORIC (THIERRY, THEODERICUS), an Abbot of Mont d'Or near Rheims who reposed circa A.D. 533.VEEP (VEEPUS, VEEPY, WIMP, WENNAPA), (Sixth Century), St. Veep is the patron saint of St. Veep, Cornwall, England. It is possible that he was a member of the family of King St. Brychan of Brycheiniog (6th April). Nothing further is known about him.
* - Prior to the Schism the Patriarchate of Rome was Orthodox and fully in communion with the Orthodox Church. As Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco +1966 said "The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable Liturgy is far older than any of her heresies."

Pre-Schism Saints of the Orthodox Roman Patriarchate*
6th July (23rd June O.S.):
AGRIPPINA, a virgin-martyr in Rome, in all likelihood under Valerian (circa A.D. 262). She was especially venerated by Sicilians and Greeks, both of whom have relics; the Sicilians in Mineo and the Greeks in Constantinople.ETHELDREDA (AUDREY, ETHELDRED),
St. Etheldreda (often known by the diminutive Audrey) was an East Anglian princess, a Northumbrian queen, and the founder and first Abbess of the double monastery at Ely in Cambridgeshire, England. The daughter of Anna, a Christian king of the East Angles, she was married while still young to a prince of the South Gyrvians, though she remained a virgin. Upon his death three years later, St. Etheldreda withdrew to the Isle of Ely in Cambridgeshire to live as a hermit. After five years, she was persuaded by her family to return to the world and marry Egfrith of Northumbria, but she refused to consummate this marriage as well, and after twelve years, St. Etheldreda obtained Egfrith's consent to become a nun. She received monastic tonsure from St. Wilfrid of York (12th October) at Coldingham circa A.D. 672 where her aunt St. Ebba the Elder (25th August) was Abbess. About a year later, St. Etheldreda founded the double monastery of Ely, serving as its Abbess until her repose in A.D. 679.
The diminutive Audrey (Awdrey) is the origin of the word tawdry, which was derived from the modest concealing lace goods sold at an annual fair held in her name in Ely. In time, this lacework came to be seen as old-fashioned or cheap and of poor quality goods, especially in the seventeenth century, when some Puritans in eastern England frowned upon lace or any other form of adornment.
TROPARION of ST. ETHELDREDA — TONE III Let us praise the virgin Etheldreda, flame of faith above the church of Ely, Mother Abbess, intercessor and protector for all. In her the image of God was restored to shine, and she was crowned with great glory by our Saviour Christ, ever praying in the Spirit before the Father's throne that His great mercy may be granted unto us
FELIX OF SUTRI, a priest of Sutri in Tuscany, who was scourged to death under Valerian and Gallienus A.D. 257.HIDULF, the Count of Hainault, who married St. Agia (18th April), though by mutual consent they entered monasteries. Hidulf became a monk at Lobbes which he had helped to found, reposing circa A.D. 707.JAMES OF TOUL, a monk at Hornbach, who was consecrated Bishop of Toul A.D. 756, and reposed A.D. 769.JOHN, a priest in Rome who was beheaded under Julian the Apostate, A.D. 362.MOELIAI (MOELRAY), St. Moeliai was baptised by St. Patrick (17th March) and later founded and served as first Abbot of Nendrum Monastery on Mahee Island in Strangford Lough, Co. Down, Ulster. He reposed circa A.D. 493.WALHERE, (Date Unknown), a priest in Belgium murdered for his righteousness and venerated as a martyr.
* - Prior to the Schism the Patriarchate of Rome was Orthodox and fully in communion with the Orthodox Church. As Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco +1966 said "The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable Liturgy is far older than any of her heresies."
