I’m not sure but it might Saints? Eric (Nakagawa) and Kari (Unebesami), the folks who started _I Can Has Cheezburger?_. ---

> [@carrps](#): > > Ha, Not trading cards. **Holy** cards. But we’d trade them among ourselves so they were treated as trading cards in a way. They were handed out for special occasions or as a prize for doing something special. But you could also buy them. There was a tiny shop about a half mile from my school/church (the Madonna shop?) where you could buy them. Well, now I want to find 52 of these and divide them into four suits so I can play poker with 'em. It’ll take a lot of research to decide if St.Onan outranks St. Vinnie, the Jack of Chalices… But worth it for a rousing game of Vatican Hold’Em. ---

I was going to mention St. Agatha. She was martyred by having her breasts cut off, and because of this she is often [depicted bearing her severed breasts on a plate.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Santa_Agueda_-_Zurbar%C3%A1n_%28detalle%29.png/452px-Santa_Agueda_-_Zurbar%C3%A1n_%28detalle%29.png) But during medieval times the faithful who saw this misinterpreted them as loaves of bread or cakes, leading her to be declared the patron saint of bakers. Today [rounded pastries in the form of breasts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_of_Sicily#/media/File:Minnuzze_di_sant'aita.jpg) are sold on her feast day. For those interested in obscure saints, I would recommend [Saints Preserve Us!:](https://www.amazon.com/Saints-Preserve-Us-Everything-About/dp/067975038X) Everything You Need to Know About Every Saint You’ll Ever Need by Sean Kelly and Rosemary Roger. ---

That reminds me. Saint Lucy was popular, too, because she held her eyeballs on a plate. ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Not [Bernard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_of_Menthon)? Excellent point. I rescind my nomination and am going with St. Bernard! One might note that St. Roch became the patron saint of dogs after becoming devoted to a dog that had saved his life. St. Bernards also became associated with lifesaving missions in the Swiss mountains. St. Gertrude the cat woman, OTOH, was actually more associated with rats and mice, and the association with cats was just an artificial internet meme created for no particular reason, and never recognized by the Catholic church. I’m sure that if St. Roch and St. Bernard had existed in the same time and place as St. Gertrude, they would have chased her off the premises. 😉 Regards, A Dog ---

In Spain I ate a pastry labeled in English as “The Hunged Man,” representing a local legend of a boy miraculously saved, and saw but didn’t eat the titsy cakes labeled “Saint Agata Breast.” ---
