Patron Saint of Television



I kid you not !

I thought it was a joke....
and it sorta was,

A friend put a little gift for me in my mailbox.
A glow in the dark plastic saint on a card that said it was Saint Clare of Assisi, the Patron Saint of Television.

I started reading the text on the back of the card expecting it to turn into extreme silliness at any second, but it was dead serious. Seems the Roman Catholic Pope, Pope Pius the XII declared her the patron saint of television in 1958.

I did some research--you can have one too...

"GLOWS IN THE DARK!

St. Clare is the patron saint of television, as declared by Pope Pius XII in 1958. Apparently St. Clare was too weak to attend Mass one year, but was blessed with a vision of the sermon on her bedroom wall. Now this plastic glow-in-the-dark saint with gold detailing can protect you from bad TV and loud commercials."
