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. > > She is also the patron saint of bell-ringers, because the depiction of her breasts on a plate sometimes looked like bells. “Patron Saint of Various Things That Look Sorta Like Disembodied Tits” is an interesting job title. Also may shed a little light on what cloistered celibate monastic artists imagine the female breast looks like. ---

I know we passed the discussion of candlemass some eons ago, but I just wanted to mention, that in France (also in Belgium and Swiss Romandy) it is also the day of crêpes, because apparently a Pope gave them to people arriving in Rome, or maybe the Vestal Virgins did it. A lot of French people likely have no idea why they eat crêpes on that day, but hey they are tasty, so why not. I don’t think it is waffle day in Belgium though. `//i\\` ---

Bye, thread! And may I suggest that a St Mozart may be a better patron saint than St Cecilia. ---

> [@digs](#): > > Sounds like a Steven Wright line. Hmmm, wasn’t there a scene from Firesign Theatre set in the Old West, where the grizzled old-timers in the saloon are playing poker with tarot cards? Years ago, our weekly nickel-and-dime poker game tried playing with tarot cards. We removed the Major Arcana and all the Knight cards, which left us with a playable, 52-card deck. It was interesting, to say the least. Thankfully, nobody died–at least, as far as we knew. ---
