A significant snowfall caused chaos in Rome, and the lower Danube froze over in Bulgaria.

It might be more meaningful to ask whether he's circumcised as well, even though this is not considered religiously significant according to the officially promulgated doctrine of the Mormon Church. A number of Mormons (the exact number is hard to say) 'supplement' their ritual observances with various Jewish customs.

Egyptians and foreigners, 44 in total, are being prosecuted.
