WjncMUr Farming, Saturday, May 9. 1992 Three Chilly Saints May 11,12, and 13, are the feast days of St. Mammertus, fifth century Bishop of Vienne in France; St. Pancras, a fourth century boy martyr in Rome, and St. Gervais (also Ger vatius or Servatius) fourth-century Bishop of Tongres. In The Old Farmer’s Almanac these are known as the Three Chilly Saints, not because they were cold during their lifetimes, but because these three days are traditionally the coldest of the month. English and French folklore (and later American) held that these days would always bring a late frost. In Germany, they were called the Icemdnner, or Iceman days, and people be lieved it was never safe to plant until the Icemen were gone, but after that, the threat of frost was over for the season.
