NEW FROM OUR FRIENDS AT EFSP: THE 50 MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN OF THE CENTURY!

Trigger alert---if the concept of "beautiful women" gives you the vapors, just move along.....for everyone else:

The 50 most beautiful women of the century!

It's a guilty pleasure. I mean a postcard series like 'De 50 mooiste vrouwen van de eeuw!' (The 50 most beautiful women of the century!) series by P-Magazine was a typically 20th-century fad. But of course, we still like to watch beautiful women and compare the editor's selection with our own preferences, but a series like this is something from another era.

P-Magazine is a former Belgian magazine aimed primarily at a male audience. The magazine started in December 1997 as the successor to the defunct weekly De Nieuwe Panorama. The last paper issue appeared at the beginning of February 2017. The magazine was a Dutch-language weekly (from 2015 a monthly) that covered cars, film, women and games, as well as politics, sociology, science, music and literature. The magazine was best known for its annual 8-week swimming costume special, for which famous Flemish women posed at exotic locations. It also featured more or less well-known female models or persons on the cover every week. READ AND SEE MORE AT European Film Star Postcards: The 50 most beautiful women of the century!

REFORMATION DAY AND A LOOK BACK AT OUR SAVIOUR LUTHERAN CHURCH 1939

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Reformation Day is a Protestant Christian religious holiday celebrated on 31 October, alongside All Hallows' Eve (Halloween) during the triduum of Allhallowtide, in remembrance of the onset of the Reformation.

According to Philip Melanchthon, 31 October 1517 was the day German Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Electorate of Saxony in the Holy Roman Empire. The holiday is a significant one for both Lutheran and Calvinist Churches, although other Protestant communities also tend to commemorate the day. 

And so a look back at Our Saviour Lutheran Church, via their 1939 Commemorative Book--click on the images below. For more about Our Saviour Our Saviour Lutheran Church – Croton-on-Hudson, NY (oursaviourcroton.org)
