Aunty Philly

Philomena as a girl's name is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Philomena is "powerful love". Name of a popularly-worshipped saint who is supposedly a virgin martyr. Her cult was based on a set of bones discovered in Rome in 1802, but in 1961, archaeologists disproved the claim, and her veneration was forbidden by Rome.

"Aunty Philly" was my favourite dinner lady at primary school. After years and years of not seeing her, her niece is now my girlfriend of 5 years, and Philly has gone from being my favourite dinner lady to favourite 'Aunty'
