But what about Grover?
Today is June 2, the feast of St. Erasmus - or St. Elmo - a bishop and martyr about whom little is known, but about whom there are many legends.
He’s a patron saint of sailors; the blue lights sometimes seen at mastheads are known as “St. Elmo’s Fire.”
He is also invoked against cramps and colic, especially in children.
Would you expect anything less from a saint named Elmo?
