St. Jacoba

[weaktwos]

St. Jacoba would not make for an interesting Medieval painting. It sounds like she lived a good life as best buds with St. Francis. Aside from her kinship with the F-dog, she was known to make a confection featuring almonds that St. Francis adored and even requested on his death bed. She apparently outlived the people she loved. This leads me to believe that it wasn't almonds in that sweet treat...they just smelled like almonds.

But seriously. February 8th is without sensational saints. No blood and gore tales for St. Jacoba.

A saint who didn't get all massacred? Is she the patron saint of desserts?

Are you going through all the saint´s this year and make a post on each?
