I had some messy-list-problems yesterday, so please excuse any omissions!

Searching for patron saints, I looked for the patron saint of trees, but couldn’t find one. Saint Joseph is the patron saint of woodworkers, though, and so the patron of the shipbuilders for Aeneas who chopped down Cybele’s sacred grove, and the Renaissance artists when they carved out of wood. And the furniture maker and builder.

Christ in the Carpenter’s Shop, detail, George de la Tour, 1645, in the Louvre, Paris.

If this is what they meant by humanism, I'm for it. See you all here tomorrow!

And remember to check in later for the Monday-to-Sunday list, where I try to correct all my mistakes!
