While more people know today as St Patrick's Day today is also St. Gertrude of Nivelles Day who was much cooler than St Patrick. I am clearly in the Team St Gertrude of Nivelles camp.
Happy St. Gertrude of Nivelles Day
By Dreaming Ace
Today I am Team St. Gertrude of Nivelles
Patron of Cats, the Recently Deceased, Gardeners,
Travelers, Those with Mental Health Struggles
Not St Patrick who was mean to snakes and pagans
Today I am Team St. Gertrude of Nivelles
Who ran a double monastery with her mom,
One section for monks and another for nuns.
Who was pious but not mean to magic like St Patrick
Today I am Team St. Gertrude of Nivelles
Whose (in today's language) “special interest”
Was Christianity but not in an imperialistic way
Not an imperialism based Christianity like St Patrick
Today I am Team St. Gertrude of Nivelles
Who when asked if she wanted to marry said
Nope, No way, I’m dedicating myself to Jesus
Maybe she was Ace? Or Aro? We will never know
Today I am Team St. Gertrude of Nivelles
Patron of Cats, the Recently Deceased, Gardeners,
Travelers, Those with Mental Health Struggles
Not St Patrick who was mean to snakes and pagans
