St. Agatha

I know you already know today is the feast day of St. Agatha. Read about her here. The bad guys really did some nasty stuff to her. But I'm more concerned with her connection to Malta.

Legend says that carrying her veil, taken from her tomb in Catania, in procession has averted eruptions of Mount Etna. Her intercession is reported to have saved Malta from Turkish invasion in 1551.

Maybe she also saved the Knights of Malta from Terry McAuliffe. Along with her other patronage, she should be the patron of the Catholic blogosphere to protect against badly-sourced blogging.
