FEAST DAY OF ST. BERNADETTE
a ninteenth-century French patroness of shepherds. Her patronage apparently grew out of an unusual penance she was assigned during a vision- to eat grass as sheep do in order to atone for the world's sins. Eliezer Edwards's Words, Facts and Phrases: A Dictionary of Curious Matters (1882) commented on an ambiguous expression, "to bear the bell," which, he wrote, proverbially denoted "one who has achieved some distinction. By some it is thought to alludeto the practice of attaching a bell to the neck of the most corageous sheep in a flock. But a more probable origin is in the customwhich formerly prevailed of giving silver bells as prizes in horseracing, the winer being said to 'bear away the bell.'"
