Saint Robert Meachem, A Modern Day Saint Dismas, the Good Thief

New Orleans Saint Robert Meachem (# 17) is a Modern Day "Saint Dismas," the Saint who is known as the "Good Thief."

Saint Dismas' story can be found at http://www.saintsforsinners.com/

If he were alive today, he would be New Orleans Saint Robert Meachem, a saint who recovers fumbles for touchdowns, makes interceptions, and is fantastic thieving NFL athlete! His 53 yard touchdown catch with less than 2 minutes left to play in the game against the Washington Redskins had all of the New Orleans Saints fans in the world joyous!

The image of our Saint Dismas the Good Thief medallion is featured at left, (click the image to enlarge) and includes a fleur-de-lis tattoo on his chest, all available through SaintsforSinners.

We're trying to present an image of Saint Dismas as a token image of New Orleans Saint Robert Meachem.

Robert's play today, December 6, 2009, where he stole the ball from the Washington Redskins, and scored a touchdown was one of the most excellent plays in the history of the National Football League (NFL).

Congratulations, New Orleans Saint Robert Meachem; you are, like Saint Dismas, truly a "Good Thief!"

Make that "Great Thief!" And a great Saint!

WHODAT!?

Saint Nicholas of Myra's Feast Day, December 6th

Today is the Feast Day of Saint Nicholas of Myra, the patron of merchants. Saint Nicholas' image is featured to the left, as is his story. Click the image to enlarge.

His medal depicts Saint

Nicholas holding 3 gold balls and there are also 3 boys, cooking in a barrel of oil.

Don't fret; Saint Nicholas saved the 3 boys and went on to become a beloved saint.

Happy Saint Nicholas of Myra (that's where he is from) Day from all of us at www.SaintsforSinners.com, the home of imported Italain Saint Medallions hand-painted in New Orleans!
