Saint Zita |
Saint Zita was a servant known for giving away her own and her master's food and clothing to the poor. Several miracles occurred when she was in the process of "donating" to the poor. When questioned about what she was hiding in her skirts (bread for the poor) flowers tumbled from her skirts and the bread was nowhere to be seen. In another instance angels were seen making the bread she was instructed to make while she was out tending to the poor. On Saint Zita's Feast Day bread and flowers are the main attraction.
Curiously though, Saint Zita is the saint you pray to if you have lost your keys. I have a reputation for not exactly losing my keys, but locking myself out of my house. In effect, my keys are lost to me. So, Saint Zita may be just the patron saint I've been looking for. What's curious is that I have never read any stories about her finding keys. I guess that's one of the Catholic mysteries.
