Click, I think it gets a little bigger. Well look, maybe you're a marine biologist, and you'll see this and say, "Why, that's Lagarassimona elongela, which only grows in the waters around Xxxxxx!"
It could happen.

While my search continues for the 'meridionale' prayer to SAINT MARTIN I came across this:
Many legends about Saint Martin, friend of the needy, patron of wine growers, reformed drunkards, knights, and tailors, have come down through the centuries. Probably the tale that associates him with beggars is best known. The youthful Martin was riding his horse toward Amiens. Just outside the city gates he saw a naked beggar shivering with cold. Instantly the young man stopped his horse, drew out his sword, and slit his own rich cape from neck to hem. He gave half of the garment to the beggar, kept half for himself, and rode on into the town.
HORSE,CAPE,SWORD,GOOD DEED. Saint Martin was the forerunner of ZORRO?
Yep, St. Martins Day is on Nov 11. Legend has it that Sint Maarten was discovered on that day, forgot the exact year. As for any prayers I cant help you there. I do remember that St. Martins Day has something to do with a goose.
Vleeptron is short on Catholics I am afraid. Ciudad de Vleeptron is home to Jews, Muslims, Unitarians, Buddhists, free spirits, but not a single bloody Catholic in sight when you bloody need one to answer a trivial question....this is the only thing close to a prayer I found, but it is a mordern one

sigh now I can go back to that book by Richard Dawkins about Delusions....
Ach so,
I found it, translated to French from whatever strange lingua is spoken in the alleys, bathrooms, and whispered in the small dank, dark churches and other intensly private fora where southern Italians softly speak their magic spells.
To Saint Martin for the protection and production of maternal milk:
baisse, baisse lait
un seau et une assiette
un seau et un baril
baisse, baisse Saint Martin
Recite and take breast in the dirtiest rag making the sign of the cross and say 3 Pater 3 Ave 3 Gloria in honour of St. Francis
and keep your infant alive.
My friend is always there, especially during summer. She takes her
family in different islands around the Caribbean. Been dreaming of a
luxury vacation in Caribbean myself :)

Hi Hi Sarah --
STOP DREAMING!
The reasons are rather sad and unpleasant, they fill our front-page headlines.
But you WILL be shocked at how affordable and reasonable a week in the Caribbean is right now. Start clicking on the travel fare websites and see for yourself. Click on the websites of hotels and resorts.
The travel industry, the airlines, are desperate for visitors. That means you. They will make you a deal you can afford.
We had a blast on Sint Maartin. But in past winters we've had wonderful stays on Statia (Sint Eustatius), Curacau, and if you're a bit of a thrillseeker, Montserrat would love to welcome you and show you the most interesting and beautiful time -- volcano and all.
You don't believe me, okay. Click around for yourself! My wife does all the searching and booking, and she was SHOCKED at how affordable the Caribbean is right now.
Also check out the very off-the-beaten-path Dutch island of Saba, which has carved itself a niche of Environmental Eco-Friendly tourism. Saba and Statia are world-class SCUBA and snorkel-diving islands.
If you have the good fortune to be Canadian or a Commonwealther, add Cuba to your possibilities, they will *really* make you a deal.
Jamaica ... Aruba ... Bonaire ... and when things calm down again, Martinique, Guadeloupe ...
STOP DREAMING and GO!

Oh also check out the remarkable Nelson's Dockyard section of Antigua, our stay there was marvelous. (Horatio Nelson was tax-collector naval commander there.)
On Statia -- my favorite island, quiet, dreamy, beautiful -- check out the Old Gin House, which was a cotton gin in the 18th century. Now it's a first-class hotel, and a short but brisk climb up the path to the fascinating capital town Oranjestad. The old Dutch Fort there was the first place in the world that fired a cannon salute to recognize a USA-flagged sailing ship.
