St Morand – patron saint of vintners




Today is St Morand’s day.  

He is the patron saint of vintners (wine makers).  The reason for this is that he apparently spent one Lent during which he only ate one single bunch of grapes.  Not exactly a wise or balanced diet.  The common image of him suggests that he generally ate a lot more than that!
