Old Farmer's Almanac
a beloved bishop of Winchester, England (9th Century) whose request
was that he be buried in the churchyard - to be close to the people and
the gift of God (rainfall). This wish was honored until A.D. 862 and
very old/odd Scottish proverb was enacted: St. Swithin's
Day if thou dost rain,
for Forty Days it will remain.
