A tale that carries resonance till this day in England, particularly in the area around the city of Winchester, is the story of Saint Swithun. He served as a bishop of Winchester in the 9th century and was known for his humility, kindness, and devotion to God. The people of Winchester deeply revered Bishop Swithun. It is said that he preferred to keep his good deeds hidden. One particular legend narrates that he repaired a basket of eggs that a market woman had accidentally broken. Despite many supernatural stories about his ability to perform miracles, Swithun wished to be remembered as a humble servant of the Church and the people of Winchester. When he lay on his deathbed in 862, he expressed the desire to be buried in the cemetery outside the Old Minster, where common people could walk over his grave, and raindrops from the eaves could fall upon it. His wish remained unfulfilled for many years until July 15, 971, when the clergy decided to move his remains to a shrine inside the cathedral. According to the legend, on the day his remains were moved, the skies opened up and it rained for 40 days straight. This event led to the saying ‘Saint Swithun’s day if thou dost rain, For forty days it will remain’. This phrase is still used as weather folklore in the region, predicting that if it rains on July 15, it will rain for the next forty days. It is a perfect example of how a tale from the past can weave itself into the fabric of present times.
