More celebrations in the year this way! This is St. Clement's Day. I think I'll block a felt hat in his honour. Can’t we be greedy and claim all the saints we can as our patrons?

This is St. Clement’s Day. I think I’ll block a felt hat in his honour.

All the sources I have say the date is November 25 - see the links in the post. Could you please send me the support for November 26? It's possible that some might celebrate the 26th if they are in a different time zone? I checked some more references and they all said November 25. I agree the other Saints are really pretenders but they are really actually listed as patronizing hat makers. Then we can use all the support we can get? Ellen Christine

There is a great prayer to St Catherine for girls wishing to find a husband - The French say that before a girl reaches 25, she prays: Lord, give me a well-situated husband. Let him be gentle, rich, generous, and pleasant! After 25, she prays: Lord, one who's bearable, or who can at least pass as bearable in the world. And when she's pushing 30: Send whatever you want, Lord; I'll take it! St Catherine (my namesake) is definitely the best candidate as the patron saint.
