The miracle of St Hollyhock the Jubilant: As a young acolyte, Hollyhock was standing in a village square, begging for alms. Hearing a commotion in the local bakery, she ran to offer her aid. She was confronted by a group of angry locals who had pushed an old woman into the flames of the baker’s oven, believing her to have hexed the village’s flock of geese with wicked magic. Incensed by this unjust deed, Hollyhock invoked the blessing of the One True God and climbed into the oven to rescue the unfortunate woman. Patronages: Crones, (bakers’ ovens).
