about

According to legend, St. Ambrose's father predicted the future Bishop of Milan's eventual eloquence when a swarm of bees was discovered covering the sleeping infant's head. The bees, however, didn't sting the infant. They merely dropped a bit of honey on the future saint's tongue and then flew off. The honey was a foreshadowing of the sweet, soul-strengthening words that this orator-to-be would one day preach.

“There is a legend that as an infant, a swarm of bees settled on his face while he lay in his cradle, leaving behind a drop of honey. His father considered this a sign of his future eloquence and honeyed tongue. For this reason, bees and beehives often appear in the saint’s symbology.”

lyrics

Father laid
Him down to sleep
To rest and sway
In dreams so deep

The swarm came down
On the child’s head
Sleep in peace
They’re not a threat

The bees foretold
Their honey sweet
With a saintly tongue
The world he’ll treat

Heaven’s blessing
For the infant boy
The swarm takes off
Souls fill with joy

The honey drop
Foreshadowing
The bees are gone
Without a sting
