(Piles) More about St. Fiacre

August 31, 2014

My new old friend, St Fiacre, is as said the patron saint of gardening, and while trying to find a little more about him I came across this little quote in Geranium World website-” Our highly regarded medical consultant, William C. Dwyer [sic] MD, mentioned that St. Fiacre is the patron saint of gardening. The garden connection to Geranium is obvious, but somewhat distant.Then Dr. Dwyer added, incidentally and curiously,”St. Fiacre is also the patron saint of hemorrhoids.” – the connection being that the saint used wild geraniums to cure the said affliction.
