☘️ March 17th is reserved for celebrating St. Patrick, who was associated with sheep and snakes. Did you know that it's also a feast day for St. Gertrude of Nivelles, the Patron Saint of Cats? Paintings show her with rodents, which were known to spread the Black Plague during her lifetime. She was called upon to protect against rodents, similar to cats, thus earning the designation of Patron Saint of Cats. 🐁 🐀🐈⬛
