St. Dunstan’s Cider
St. Dunstan (c. 909-988), patron saint of goldsmiths
and silversmiths, as well as a jeweler, painter, and
blacksmith, was bom near Glastonbury and educated
by Irish monks. Besides his command of these arts, he
was also a skilled brewer. One legend that followed him
was that he tricked the Devil
into putting a blight on apple
trees to prevent the produc
tion of his rival drink, cider.
According to the tale, the
blight was accomplished in
the three days of May 17, 18,
and 19, the latter being St.
Dunstan’s Day. This was
given as a reason for the cold
blast that often comes at this time of year—similar to the
stories of the ‘Three Chilly Saints” of the previous week.
Blossoms in May are not good, some say.
