patroness

Authorities estimated that over five million faithful visited the Basilica during the days leading up to the annual celebration of the country’s patroness.

Many stopped to kiss an icon of the patroness of their city, which an employee of the church said had been pulled from the rubble.

Local officials said the icon of the patroness of the city was retrieved from under the rubble.

She’s been known as the patroness of those with nervous disorders ever since.

“Hannah left it on the kitchen table a minute, and the kittens got at it. I’m very sorry, Amy,” added Beth, who was still a patroness of cats.
