There Was a Time When England Stood For the Cross · ... and there was a Time when the Cross Stood for Freedom of the Young

If ever Lewis XVI is canonised, given he died on January 21st, the feast of St. Agnes, I don't think his day of death or heavenly birthday is likely to be his feastday.

Because the martyrdom of St. Agnes is greater and more foundational, especially in terms of the Christian civilisation. I think it very likely that the 1000 years of Apocalypse 20 are the medium length of the reign of a saint in heaven. So, let's take the medium length of St. Agnes and the probable martyr king's reign in Heaven?

2025		2025		1720
-305	-	1793		+232
1720		0232		2052

If St. Agnes has reigned in heaven with Her Lord and the Spotless Lamb of God, for 1720 years (it could be 1721), for Lewis XVI it is probably 232 and for these two, the medium is 1026 years, so, Armageddon and Doomsday should already have happened.

But not only has she reigned longer. She is also foundational for Lewis XVI. There could have been no Lewis XVI without a France. There would arguably not have been a France without Sts Genevieve, Clotildis and Radegundis. And there would not only not have been a St. Genevieve without her supernatural visioconferences with St. Simon Stylites, St. Simon the Pillar Saint, there would also have been no St. Genevieve with no Christian freedom to chose one's path between marriage and monastery.

And that freedom was won by ... taking them in order of the calendar ... Sts. Cecily, Barbara, Lucy, Agnes and Agatha. Whom I ask to intercede for the daughters of Abdel-Aziz of Saudi Arabia. Dear reader, do so too!

So, it is likely that the feast day of St. Lewis XVI, if ever there is one, will be today, since yesterday is the one of St. Agnes.

PS, it could also be today would also not be free, since today is St. Vincent Deacon and Martyr. The Deacon Martyrs are obviously Stephen and Lawrence and Vincent:

Valentiae, in Hispania Tarraconensi, sancti Vincentii, Levitae et Martyris; qui, sub impiissimo Praeside Daciano, carceres, famem, equuleum, distorsiones membrorum, laminas candentes, ferream cratem ignitam aliaque tormentorum genera perpessus, ad martyrii praemium evolavit in caelum; cujus passionis nobilem triumphum Prudentius luculenter versibus exsequitur, et beatus Augustinus ac sanctus Leo Papa summis laudibus commendant.
