Tuesday’s Question: According to Mental Floss, THIS saint (who is widely associated with the holidays) was the patron saint of prostitutes. Which saint?
Ho Ho Ho!
From Mental Floss: “He is said to have aided the poor father of three marriageable girls who could not afford their dowries. To save them from a life of prostitution (a common fate for unmarried women in third-century Asia Minor), he dropped three sacks of gold down their father’s chimney late one night. Thus, he is known as the patron saint of prostitutes.”
