Feast of St. Munchin, January 2

 

For every big saint, there's a bunch of small ones. Besides being the feast day of St. Basil the Great, it is also the feast day of St. Munchin the Wise. Not much is known about St. Munchin , but he is the Patron saint of Limerick, Ireland. He may have been a bishop, which is in doubt because he was known as "Maincin", or "Little Monk".

He later went on to star in "The Wizard of Oz" as the mayor of Munchinland.
