Fact of the Day: Saint Hedwig
In the Harry Potter book/movie series, Harry has a pet owl named Hedwig. The author J.K. Rowling named her after a saint known as Hedwig of Silesia. She was the patron saint of orphans.
And it was so sad to have Hedwig die too.
ReplyDeleteI mean Hedwig the owl in Harry Potter. I'll have to research the saint.
