Feast of St. Blath, January 29

It's pronounced "blah" and it means "flower". St. Blath was the cook at St. Brigid's monastery in Kildare, Ireland. Kildare is derived from the Old Irish Cill Dara, or "Church of Oak".

Brigid had the habit (Get it? Habit?) of inviting one and all to meals, so St. Blath somehow had to come up with a way to feed the multitudes without having the ability to miraculously multiply loaves and fishes.

Just as St. Balthild's feast day quickly follows St. Odo's, St. Brigid's feast day is coming right up (A cooking joke!) on February 1.
