St. Swithin’s Day
An English feast day, St. Swithm's Day on July 15 is
regarded in weatherlore as a predictor of rain. St.
Swithm was an Anglo-Saxon cleric who became the
Bishop of Winchester He died circa a.d. 862 and it was
his wish to be buried outside the church, rather than
inside, so that the "sweet ram of heaven” would fall on
his grave When he was canonized, centuries later,
church authorities evidently saw fit to bring his remains
indoors. On doing so. it is told, a torrential ram began
that lasted 4(1 days
St. Swithln s day, if that
dost rain, For 40 days i
will remain; St. Swithin
day, if th ou he fair, For
40 days twill rain na
