So, I never really found an adequate explanation for that patronage. Some say that when he died, the coffee house owners in his city quickly claimed him as their patron saint taking advantage of his local fame as it was good for business. But that is all I could find!
I will share this saint with my 15 yr old grandson who I know will enjoy his story
Thank you for introducing me to Saint Drogo.
Ok, so where did the patron of coffee shops come in?

1600, Pope Clement VIII, baptized the drink – making it more acceptable to European markets. Now that is a story if there ever was one!!
Do Tell!!!!
I am so sorry that the whole story didnt come out. The drink that needed baptizing before it could become acceptable was coffee!!
