St Crispin and Crispinian were twins and are the patron saints of cobblers, glove makers, lace makers, lace workers, leather workers, saddle makers, saddlers, shoemakers, tanners and weavers. They were also missionaries, becoming martyrs when they were beheaded in Rome in 286. Their memorial day is today, October 25th, so what better excuse than to go and buy some shoes, or have those boots reheeled that you’ve been meaning to take to the cobbler since last spring?
