ellauri055.html on line 213: Saint Fiacre's relics were preserved in his original shrine in the local church of the site of his hermitage, garden, oratory, and hospice, in present Saint-Fiacre, Seine-et-Marne, France, but later transferred in 1568 to their present shrine in Meaux Cathedral in Meaux, which is near Saint-Fiacre and in the same French department, because of fear that fanatical Calvinists endangered them. Saint Fiacre had a reputation for healing haemorrhoids, which were denominated "Saint Fiacre's figs" in the Middle Ages. Cardinal Richelieu venerated his relics hoping to be relieved of the infirmity.
ellauri055.html on line 215: Saint Fiacre is the patron saint of the commune of Saint-Fiacre, Seine-et-Marne, France. He is the patron of growers of vegetables and medicinal plants, and gardeners in general, including ploughboys. His reputed aversion to women is believed to be the reason he is also considered the patron of victims of venereal disease. He is further the patron of victims of hemorrhoids and fistulas, taxi cab drivers, box makers, florists, hosiers, pewterers, tilemakers, and those suffering from infertility. Finally, he is commonly invoked to heal persons suffering from various infirmities, premised on his reputed skill with medicinal plants.

Ranskan kirkko ei tunnusta St Fiacrea taxikuskien suojelijaxi (enkku-Wikipedia yllä on kerettiläisellä kannalla).
ellauri058.html on line 952: Jules Maigret naît à Saint-Fiacre (se oli se lapioon nojaava misogyyni puutarhapyhimys!) dans l’Allier, en 1887, ce qui ne l’empêchera pas de n’avoir que 58 ans en 1967. Se on kuin Roope Ankka, vanha muttei vanhene.
