🦋 St. Drogo of Sebourg
 Drogo is the patron saint of shepherds and of coffee; also of gallstones, hernias, cattle, and of those whom others find repulsive. (I am searching in vain for a patron saint of those who find themselves repulsive.) He is said to have practiced bilocation as a young man, while he was working as a shepherd for a Sebourgeoise named Elizabeth de l'Haire (of whom I find no other mention anywhere). He lived a very long life by 11th-C. standards; it seems like he spent the latter half of it in an iron cage which was built so that visitors would not have to gaze on the repulsive deformity which he had acquired due to a hernia sustained during one of his pilgrimages to Rome.
