Hello Sailor !
Merci Michel :0
April 2 is the name day for San Francesco of Paola, a mendicant monk from Paola, a small town in the South Italian province of Calabria. San Francesco is the patron saint of boatmen, mariners and naval officers. Shown here is San Francesco, in 1464, crossing the Strait of Messina on his cloak after being refused passage by a boatman.
It’s also your onomastico Francesco, so cheers to you and all the sailors around the world, and thank you for your submission!
