Patron Saint Of Roofers...Saint Vincent Of Saragossa


For the Catholics here and anybody who might be interested, we have our own Patron Saint.

His name is Saint Vincent of Saragossa, Spain. He was a martyr.

He was fearless and had an unusually high threshold of pain and chose the harder more difficult path when tested. His body was stretched, subjegated to high extremes of heat, his skin was cut and burned and he was placed in uncomfortable painful positions.

Sounds like a Roofer, doesnt' he?
