Honoratus of Amiens (who died in 600) . The Feast Day is May 16th but no matter.
The nice woman at Jean-Marc Chatellier Bakery in Millvale said “Saint Honoré” when I asked.
Here he is, carved from wood, with his bread peel with some sheafs of wheat, watching over the baker
August 2 is the last day before the bakery goes on vacation. We just made it on our way to the Children’s Museum.
Saint Honoré at the French Bakery in Millvale
French Bakery, Children’s Museum, and a Saint —- all good!!!
Looks delicious! Sounds like a fun day.
I never knew there was a Saint for bakers. Those treats look yummy.
Those bakery treats look delicious.
French Bakery and Children’s Museum – my kind of day
Sounds, and looks, like a good day! Never knew there was a bakery saint and thought boy his work is coming through in the last few years with food and baked goods gaining new status for jobs and entertainment. The goodies look delicious especially the chocolate tort. Happy weekend. 🙂
Looks like Saint Honoré is doing his part for this shop! Lovely looking treats.
Glad to know about St Honore! Rue St Honore is an elegant street in Paris ….fashion and food shopS! On the Right Bank. JMC is on the right bank of the Allegheny!
I’d not heard of St Honore and had to google him. I have to admit to being relieved to learn that his being named the Patron Saint of Bakers & bakeries came about because of his aid to a bakery. Weirdly enough, some Saints have become the Patron Saint of an activity connected with their martyrdom. Saint Lawrence, the Patron Saint of Barbecuing, was martyred on a hot gridiron.
I’ve looked for a wood carving exactly like this one for years. Does anyone know where I could find one?

I can ask the baker where he got his
Enjoyed learning about St Honore……have a family member that is about to open a bakery and will now search for St Honore, picture , medal, stature what ever I can find.
Oh I do hope you find one. That’s a great idea. I’m wondering how you found that blog post from awhile back
Oh my…I didn’t realize a shirt under spaghetti straps was “ok”…figured it would look like I wasn’t brave enough to wear it without…LOL. That’s why following you is helping to see different ways to style clothes!
