St. Elmo

St. Elmo is the patron of childbirth, boatmen, and explosives workers. He was an Italian bishop during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. St. Elmo fled for his life to Mount Lebanon where he was fed by a raven in order to stay alive. Unfortunately, he was discovered and imprisoned but an angel rescued him although he was recaptured. Saint Elmo was martyred by being disemboweled in 303. Saint Elmo's feast day is June 2nd.
