In europe, each country has a St's day, England have St George , Scotland has St Andrew(So does Malta), Wales St David, and Irleand has St Patrick, which most americans celebrate, eventhough there not irish. So I propose that each state has it's own St and own St's Day, for example, St Veronica, the
patron Saint of photography, for California, and St Bridgid, the patron Saint of Dairy, for Wisconsin.

Anyway, the Separation of church and state in discourse is required only of the State, not us the peops. Certain metaphorical aspects of our cultural history are still available upon request. And St. Francis is more mellifluous than Frank. Does anyone know anything about the Hagiography of St.[insertnamehere]? |

St. Onan, patron saint of small families could use the PR. |

Western Australia might like St Barbara, patron saint of mining/miners. She looks after half of Austria so far, but I shouldn't think Oz will be too much of a problem. |
