> [@fachverwirrt](#): > > My mother’s birthday is the 26th, and as such it’s her favorite carol. I never thought of looking up the Saint for your birthday. Apparently, mine is Saint Raymond of Peñafort, patron saint of: • attorneys, barristers, lawyers • canonists • medical record librarians • Barcelona, Spain • Navarre, Spain I’m not sure why _medical_ record librarians, particularly. ---

My birthday has two: one is Saint Raymond of Penafort as well, lawyer, patron saint of jurists; the other, St. Lucian of Antioch was a great scholar of religious texts, who suffered persecution. Those sound like good, Jewish saints. ---

There are a lot more than 365 saints, so every day has several saints. Some saints even hog multiple days (for instance, Joseph is both March 19 and May 1, and Mary has somewhere between a half-dozen days and all of them). ---

When I was a kid I always heard it as _Good king wentless last looked out on the feast of Stephen_ Who or what Stephen was was a mystery. Why The good king looked out then, I dunno. Why that was the last time he looked out…dunno that either. ---

> [@Paintcharge](#): > > Good king wentless last looked out And all other variant spellings. I never had any trouble, because my mother’s family lived in Bohemia and Slovakia for several hundred years (most left in the 1920s and 30s, but a few are sill there). I have relatives named things like that. ---

My favorite version is from _The Colbert Report_; a trio with Michael Stipe, Mandy Patinkin, and Stephen Colbert. For a while it wasn’t available online, but I did just find an audio-only version of it on youtube.
