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.
Who shears his sheep before St. Gervatius’ Day
loves more his wool than his sheep.

gives off a corrosive acid that damages pewter.
