Saint Abigail rocks!!!!! She is intelligent, beautiful, hot, and she can make a king fall head over heels in love...
ReplyDeleteShe and King David had one son named Daniel, right? Her feast day is September 1, am i right? A good role model for everyone of us...
I agree. Yes, King David and St. Abigail had a son named David, but the most widely acknowledged date of her feast day is Feb 11th. However, There is some conflicting information on that, and some believe that September the 1st is the true date.
ReplyDeleteFebruary 11th, huh? I see... What's St. Abigail's patronage, by the way? If Saint King David is the patron of poets, what's Saint Abigail's patronage?
ReplyDeleteAnd also... can you feature other patriarchs such as Joseph the Dreamer? Is he also considered a saint in some churches? Please reply... Thanks... God bless...
St. Abigail is best known as the Patron of Beekeeping, but when I was writing about her I took perogative and stated her as being the Patron of King David. I just thought beekeeping was somewhat unusual, and portrayed her in somewhat of a bizarre way.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely feature other patriarchs in the future. Thank you for letting me know you would be interested in seeing them.
Thank you again and God bless you as well.
All the information I saw about St. Abigail the patron of beekeeping was about a Saint from Ireland. I think they are two different saints of the same name.
ReplyDeleteI found a source that says St. Abigail (wife of King David) is the patron of wives, women of learning and women of counsel.
ReplyDeleteSt. Abigail is from Ireland...they are one and the same :)
ReplyDeleteits against this gracious saint of God that i named my first daughter St.Abigail Stephen Ahweera _Uganda
ReplyDeletedidn't she REmarry King David? who was her 1st husband
ReplyDeleteThey are two different saints. St. Abigail from King David was actually from 1000 BC. King David was one of the original Kings of the Jews in Jerusalem. Of course the saint from Ireland was many years later.
ReplyDeleteShes so cool!

DeleteSaint Abigail had two husbands..her last one was king David. Be careful because there are two Saint Abigail's. She was patron saint of bees and beekeeper but she also cured lots of people with the honey and cured a plague. Also, used the bees to form a helmet to run of thief's. She's known as a beautiful and intelligent woman. Also she was the only woman to be allowed on an Island. I wish I knew something about her mother & father. I know she had one brother.
