Our Lady of Providence, patroness of Indiana and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, Rhode Island, Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, St. Benedict's Abbey in Atchison, Kansas. Feast day is Nov 19.

St. Jerome, Patron of archaeologists, Biblical scholars, librarians, students and translators.
Feast day is Sept 30

That's neat. I didn't know that about translators. There is an Italian expression that goes something like this. The translator is the traitor. It has to do with unless you speak the language yourself you don't know if you're getting a correct translation.

Interesting expression.

If you think about it there is a truism to it. You are totally dependent on the other person to be accurate and they he does not have either an agenda of his own or he is in pay of another person who does not have you're interests at heart.
