St. Clements Day

23

Nov

St. Clement's Day, celebrated on November 23, honors St. Clement, who is a patron saint of blacksmiths, people who make things from metal. A long time ago, blacksmiths and children would celebrate by having fun with games, songs, and small parades. People would also enjoy special foods like gingerbread and tell stories. In some places, blacksmiths would show their skills and teach others about their craft, often involving the community. This day is a way for people to remember and appreciate the important work that blacksmiths do and to come together as a community for some fun and learning.
