The Sainties: Category 5 Voting

The Sainty Awards is a little theme week here at Saint Kitsch in honour of our favourite Saints that make us swell with happiness God hasn't asked us to be them.

CATEGORY

Strangest Patronage

• St. Apolliana

Patron Saint of dentists, because she was martyred by having her teeth pulled out one by one.

• Saint Bona of Pisa

Patron Saint of Flight Attendants, because she operated a hotel.  Make the connection yourself, I certainly can't.

• St. Martin of Tours

Patron Saint of Geese.  After hiding in a flock of geese to prevent becoming bishop, they honked to reveal his where abouts.  I was unaware geese needed a patron, but hey.

• St. Drogo

Ugly people.
