This just made an episode of Psych so much more hilarious
#PatronSaint
Spotted this stained glass window in St Mark's Church, Millfield in Sunderland on a Heritage Open Day visit.
Portraying England's patron St George attempting to fight off a fearsome-looking dragon.
Although St George never actually set foot in England, his reputation for virtue and holiness had spread far and wide across Europe.
St George's feast day, the 23rd April, began to be celebrated in England from the 9th century onwards and following the 'Battle of Agincourt' in 1415, St George's Day became one of the most important feast days in the English calendar.

1. I learned a few weeks ago that Catholics can name a patron saint(s) for themselves at any time.
2. After some research since then, I chose 2 saints for myself.
3. Aside from wanting help with being good, this is also a result of my fascination with Warhammer 40K astartes chaplains.

Holding a 5:30 Mass tonight for #SaintLuke since he’s our patron and all. Not sure if anyone will show up, but traditions usually take more than one try to get going.

@sapiens I didn't know there's a patron saint for natural scientists! & just discovered this link to a very promising book review: https://masto.ai/@markrstoll/110709849436267837

#TIL about Saint Rita of Cascia, an Italian widow and Augustinian nun, who is the #PatronSaint of abuse victims, impossible causes, sickness, wounds, parenthood, and widows. Her feast day is May 22.

Is there a patron saint of cybersecurity?
I want to find a statue to print for FLOSS maintainers to buoy spirits while playing defence.
(The closest I have so far is Guan Yu, but he's more like a saint of esports.)

Why does England have such a shit patron saint when there are so many actual English saints to choose from.
So, petition to change to patron saint of England to an actual English person. We have plenty to choose from:
- St Æthelstan - a former bishop of Hereford
- St Margaret Clitherow - "the pearl of York", patron saint of businesswomen.
- St Isabella Gilmore - oversaw the revival of the Deaconess Order, where the women were to be “a curiously effective combination of nurse, social worker and amateur policeman”.
- St James Hannington - Was kinda, sorta anti-slavery (if they were Christians).
- St Laurence Humphreys - while ill and delirious called Queen Elizabeth a harlot and a heretic and was executed for it.

!!BONUS CHAT ALERT!!
@arielkroon & @xtinadlr are trying a new thing out this year, where they record a bonus podcast chat from a topic decided on by Patrons each month, and post it up on YouTube for all to hear.
The very first topic of 2024 is LUNARPUNK - because, what even is it, exactly? How does it relate to solarpunk? Can it be described as a movement, or an aesthetic stance, or more of a vibe? What's going on with this nascent genre? Tune in to the discussion now and join the conversation!

🥥 OMG, Timotei!
Immortal actor #RobertNewton's performances as #LongJohnSilver are indelibly etched in my memory from childhood.
As a lad prone to black and white thinking, it really perplexed me that I couldn't figure out if Silver was a good guy or a bad guy.
Besides his memorable roles on stage and screen, Mr. Newton lives on as the #PatronSaint of International #TalkLikeAPirateDay.
Please tell me he played Long John with an authentic #Cornish accent. 🥥 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Talk_Like_a_Pirate_Day
Dragons beware, it's St George's Day today, patron saint of England and here is the dragon-slaying saint himself, as depicted in a stained glass window in St Mark's Church, Millfield in Sunderland.
The glass was produced just down the road from the church by the famous local Hartley Wood Glassworks.

Saint George did not become the patron saint of England until the Reformation in 1552. Before that, Edward the Confessor held the position.
