Illustration of the Little Courtier of Bắc Lệ by Cheng Cheng

Mark your calendars! This Friday is the enchanting feast day of the Little Courtier of Bắc Lệ!

“… Gem leaves and branches gold,
Bắc Lệ’s Little Courtier, noble and bold.
Reputation famed, wide it’s sown,
A belle from prestige, widely known.
A goddess veiled, in mortal guise,
Perception’s grasp, a mortal’s guise.
Incarnate She walked, a celestial art,
Mortal eyes missed Her divine heart …”

(An excerpt from the court literature hymn to the Little Courtier of Bắc Lệ)
