Lesser-known saints may simply have their name mentioned during Mass.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/picnic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-69\" title=\"picnic\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/picnic-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/picnic-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/picnic-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/picnic.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>There are only a few days you\u2019ll find our bakery and caf\u00e9 closed for a feast, Saint Macrina\u2019s Feast Day is one of them.
