DOWN TO EARTH: Celebrity Saints for this week. If your clothes don’t fit, or if you’re having a fit, here are a couple of saints you need to know about! Saint Foillan of Fosses, a 7th century saint from Ireland who is the patron saint of children’s nurses, dentists and surgeons. So far, so good... But how come hes also the patron saint of truss makers?! So if youre having trouble with your children, your teeth....or your truss...this is the guy for you! Also remembered this week is Saint Quentin. Given that the clocks changed last night, and were really in winter now, its a good thing hes the patron saint whose job is to fight off coughs. And another saint whose day is this week - St. Wolfgang of Ratisbon. “Tres bon, monsieur?” “Aye! Rat is bon, trezz bon Marcel, so it is!” And hes the patron saint to keep you from strokes, paralysis, stomach diseases and especially for those listening to this programme - apoplexy. Hes also the patron saint of carpenters...who presumably also have an apoplectic fit when they hit their thumbs with a hammer!
