Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11,29-32.

While still more people gathered in the crowd, he said to them, "This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here. At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here.

This was today’s reading. Who’s the “queen of the south”?

Thanks!
 
I agree that this is a reference to the Queen of Sheba who came to visit Solomon.

Thank you, PPCPILOT, for giving me a chuckle. “Dairy Queen” is a unique and humorous perspective of that land which is such a desert !
