Bearded Saints of Heaven and Warriors of the Lord. Sporters of Fantastic Beards and Words of Wisdom…

Let’s just say that the saints in Heaven know how to celebrate No-Shave November in quite classy ways.

1. Saint John the Baptist

Epic. Saint John the Baptist reminds fellow bearded men that it is always wise to match one’s coat with one’s beard..both in color and in texture.

2. Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine speaks for himself, saying, “The beard significance the courageous; the beard distinguishes the grown men, the earnest, the active, the vigorous. So that when we describe such, we say, he is a bearded man” (exposition on Psalm 133,6).

3. Saint Nicholas

In anticipation for the chilly December months ahead, Saint Nicholas also sported a beard while giving gifts to children and saving others from being pickled, not to mention laying down the law with some heretics. All in day’s work, Saint Nicholas. All in a day’s work.

4. Saint Jerome

Saint Jerome may not have been able to stand people and was in the possession of a crazy temper, but that was more than made up for in the majestic flow of his beard.

5. Saint Paul

“Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies [implied, beards] as a living sacrifice, holy, and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship.” (Romans 12:1)

6. Saint Joseph

Christ gazes lovingly at the beard of his foster father. Beards are Jesus approved.

7. Saint John Paul the Great
