*Ø* Blogmanac September 7 | Saint for carbuncles

Feast day of St Cloud of Nogent, confessor (Golden starwort, Aster solidaginoides, is today's plant, dedicated to this saint).

Saint Cloud was the grandson of King Clovis and Saint Clotilde. In art, Saint Cloud is portrayed as a Benedictine abbot giving his hood to a poor man as a ray of light emanates from his head. He may also be shown with royal insignia at his feet or instructing the poor. He is invoked against carbuncles.
