the almost forgotten grave of st.
Swithin est Swithun), who died 109
years before. They excavated the
grave and were ready to remove the
remains to another and more fitting
resting place for the patron saint of
the Winchester cathedral.
4 terrific storm. accompanied by
thunder and lightning. broke suddenly
and drenched the burial party And
with the characteristic superstition
of that day, the storm was inter-
preted as a miracle protest from
St Swithin. whose dying request
was violated when his remains were
removed.
This request was that he be buried
not in church. but outside in "a vile
and unworthy place"
Following the thundershower on
that day there came others, and ira
dition tells us it rained for forty
DAYS and forty nights. The story has
been handed down from generation
to generation for 949 years, and to-
day YOU will find Washingtonian joe
ularly casting predictions concerning
the weather for the next forty days,
basing their forecasts on the legend
of ST. Swithin.
France has her st. Medar's day,
June s: her st. Gervase day, June 19:
Germany, her Day of the Seven Sleep
ers, June %, and in Flanders there is
ST Godelieve's day, July 6. all of them
similar in many respects to st. Swlth-
in's day. in England.
The weather bureau fails to concede
TO tradition. While the prediction for
today was thundershowers-the fore
cast for tomorrow is fair, knocking to
smithereens at one blow the theory
that today will be followed by forty
days of rain.
