Oh, Dutchy, you may already know St Mark is reputed to be interred in the big Church at Piazza San Marcos in Venice - I've seen it.

St.Oliver Plunket, Archbishop of Armagh. Ireland.
Celebrated 11th July.
Hanged, drawn and quartered, 1 July, 1681.

St Philip Neri - feast day 26 May - Patron of Rome
Incredible sense of humour. When pilgrims came to see "the holy man", he shaved one side of his face, so they could see how silly he really was.

St. Quentin - Saint of Prisons in America, ie San Quentin
Incredible sense of who, what, where, when, and how. I bow to him daily.

St Quentin 31 October, an early missionary to Gaul and martyr. Patron of those suffering from coughs.

***************
For those with an incredible sense of inanity, St Quentin had nothing to do with American prisons. The land on which it was built was evidently named after Qintin, a Miwok warrior under Chief Marin, who was captured there. The "san" was added because of the habit of calling every area after saints. :wink:

One day you'll grow up, Mame, and I will really start to worry about you!!!

Uh Oh.

It's okay Danon - she knows I'm only having a friendly dig at her. (I hope!)

Who knows, Mame just might have a reference I didn't come across that will prove me wrong. Yes?

No, of course I don't - I make it up as I go along, most times, tongue in cheek, don't ya know? LOL.... I stand corrected, as usual! And thank you ma'am... I defer to your edification... ................ but I still maintain I can write what the hell I want, right or wrong

Yes, my sweet, you can write what you like. Mommy says go to it! Have all the fun you want to!
