Today is St. Patrick’s Day, but it’s also the feast day of this original cat lady; here’s her history and a (kinda funny) prayer to her that I wrote.
What do crazy cat ladies, haggard airline travelers, insane people, and gardeners have in common? For them, today, March 17 should be a day of revelry and celebration. I’m not talking about St. Patrick’s Day. (Although I admit I simply can’t let mid-March pass without slamming back a cold green one.) I’m talking about the feast day of St. Gertrude of Nivelles, who lived from 621 to 659.
