HAPPY ST. HYACINTH DAY!
August 17th is the Feast Day of St. Hyacinth, the Patron Saint of Pierogi
The Polish exclamation Święty Jacku z pierogami! ("St. Hyacinth with his dumplings!") is an old-time saying, a call for help in some hopeless circumstance. It has derived from two legends. One of them is about his visit on July 13, 1238, to Kościelec. During his visit, a hailstorm broke out, destroying crops and leaving people with the prospect of famine. Hyacinth told them to pray. The next day, the crops were miraculously restored. The people then treated Hyacinth to pierogi made from those crops as a token of gratitude. The second legend mentions Hyacinth feeding people with pierogi during a famine caused by the Mongol invasion of 1241.
