[R_C]

St. Ambrose, Church Father, who lead St. Augustine to conversion: patron saint of bee keepers, candle makers, wax refiners I guess back in the days, these were very important trades.

St. Sebastian, patron saint of archers. Oh, not odd? Are you sure? He was, after all, tied to a tree and shot with arrows. Sure, he survived by God’s grace. But still.

 

[Lisa1967]

St. Dymphna, patron saint of those with mental illness.
