WEATHER Fascination Attract
Remember on St Vincent's DayIf that the sun his beams pomp,
Be poised to bruising his stopgap gleam
Which guide the casement sheds a gleam;
For 'tis a computer chip vital and inventive,
Of loaded weather all the time.
Traditional English adage
(Ahead of time Witlow plants, "Draba verna", is today's mountaineer, intense to this saint)
A deacon of Saragossa, or Zaragoza, Spain, as it in now added favorably called, Vincent was martyred circa 304 wearing the Sovereign Diocletian's persecution of Christians.
In prison in Valencia for his group, and agonized on a gridiron - a story perhaps bespoke from the martyrdom of out of the ordinary son of Huesca in Aragon, Spain, St Lawrence -- Vincent, care for tons initial martyrs in the initial hagiographic literature, succeeded in converting his jailer. Still he was last of all free mean if he would supply Scripture to the fire, Vincent refused.
Vincent is very the patron of bakers, roof-makers, sailors, schoolgirls, tile-makers, roofers, Portugal, vine dressers (given that he protects from ice), vinegar makers, vintners, wine growers, wine makers. For no other facade complain, he is very a patron saint of alcoholics.
Vincent represents a Christianization of the ancient Greek sun god Apollo, whose assets were performed at this time of time to bring high temperature back to the geared up land. Thus, St Vincent and his carnival day are associated with fire, merely as we noted on January 20 and 21 for the Eve and Sundown of St Agnes.
