St Mamertius is also listed as one of the "Eisheiligen" in German tradition - others being Pankratius, Servatius and Bonifatius - followed by the "Kalte Sophie" These are all the supposed last days of possible frost. It is usually after these days that folks set out their tomato plants and peppers as well as other frost vulnerable plants. This tradition exists in our area of Hessen. Just wanted to throw this out for general info.
