From Grillin' with the Monks: Patron Saint of BBQ

Who is the patron saint of barbecuing?

“St. Lawrence Day, August 10, is celebrated by those who consider the second century martyr to be the patron saint of barbecue. Lawrence, who was killed for disobeying (and, while he was at it, thumbing his nose at) the Roman authorities, was said to have been roasted on a spit (although some Church scholars now believe he was beheaded) and to have said at some point during the roasting: ‘Turn me over, I’m done on this side.’ His symbol, in religious iconography, is a latticed metal grate or gridiron.” (From “Let’s talk barbecue,” Marialisa Calta, CatholicDigest.com)
