Is there anything special about St. Crispin or his day?   Written by Line (8/20/2004 6:30 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, St Crispin's Day, penned by Cheryl
Are you new?

...Besides the fact that the Battle of Agincourt took place then, of course. Is St. Crispin the patron saint of soldiers or lost causes, or was the end of October the last time you could conveniently hold a battle? (I've heard that before the 20th century, armies generally didn't fight battles in mid-winter, for example.)
