We are the 242nd day of the year and we celebrate Sainte-Sabine. Undergoes martyrdom in the 2nd century for having given a burial to his servant, Sainte-Séraphie, a martyr herself.
The sun rises one minute later at 7:05 am and sets two minutes earlier at 8:37 pm. The saying goes: "Rain on the Holy Sabine is a divine grace".
