SAINT EXPEDITEPatron saint of emergencies – for those in need of rapid solutions and who wish for success… …. St. Expedite is the emergency service saint, known for swift action. When you need help and you need it now, he is the man you want in your corner. In today’s quick-fix society, it’s no wonder he is invoked as the patron saint of computer users, steadying the hand of many a frayed worker pummelling the Escape button on a keyboard in frustration at the mysterious mood changes of digital technology. But did St. Expedite ever exist? The story goes that he may have been inadvertently invented by a group of nuns. In 1781, a packing case containing the body of a saint who'd been buried in the Denfert-Rochereau catacombs of Paris was sent to a community of nuns in the city. Those who sent the body wrote "Expedite" on the case, to ensure fast delivery of the corpse for the obvious reasons. The nuns got confused, assumed Expedite was the name of a martyr, prayed to him, had a bunch of prayers answered amazingly quickly and the cult of St. Expedite was born. According to another legend however, he was a Roman commander in Armenia who became a Christian. Unfortunately, his faith earned him a beheading at the hands of the Eastern Roman Emperor, Diocletian, in 303. It is said that on the day when he decided to become a Christian, the Devil took the form of a crow and told him to delay it and be converted the next day, but Expeditus stomped on the bird and killed it, screaming "I'll be a Christian today! TODAY!" Here at Santitos, we’ve often screamed the same way, especially when deprived of chocolate.
