We are the 172nd day of the year, we celebrate Saint-Silvère. Born in Frosinone (Italy), son of Pope Hormisdas. Elected pope in his turn in 536. He was supplanted by the deacon Vigile who had him deported to the desert islet of Palmaria where he died in 537.
The sun rises like the previous day at 5:49 am and sets like the previous day at 9:56 pm. The saying: " Saint-Silvère cold and rainy announces a grumpy summer ".
