NB. And while the pope goes here and there, 'blessing' all around, it might be worth mentioning that the word 'blessing' derives from the Old English bloedsian meaning to mark or sprinkle with blood.

Not far beneath the glittering surfaces and crispy ceremonies there lies still a deeper pagan past - which so 'Oft with the blood of beasts was it red...'
