SAINT
GRANT D’CLYDE
(Australian
saint of French/Scottish origin: century unknown)
St
Grant d'Clyde saved a horse from ravishment when the knot on his pantaloons
refused to undo. The knot is currently St D’Clyde’s main relic.
Renowned for his miraculous patience, Saint Grant D’Clyde was well-loved for his work with the poor and students. He was known to give generously of his miraculous font of foaming manna.
St D’Clyde was eventually martyred during the great Battle of Elgin, against the invading forces of the Evil Despot Tooheys (see also Sign of the Stag / Heathen Masses). In the course of battle he was impaled on the antlers of a great stag, whereupon he exploded into fragrant, hoppsie foam. A tavern immediately sprang up on the site, which quickly became a place of pilgrimage and a safe house for disgraced nuns and Discipili Inebriati.
He was canonised after being credited with the posthumous miracle of ridding his pilgrimage site of the vile Petra El Diablo (see also Fat, Ugly Bouncers / Large Amphibians). Inscribed on his tomb is the phrase In Vino Veritas.
INVOKED AGAINST: broken windows, midafternoon lectures, sub-standard beer and stuff.
FEAST
DAY: It is known as Refriday
and is said to occur on a weekly basis.
