The Ice Saints are St. Mamertus, St. Pancras, and St. Servatius, (and in some countries, Saint Boniface of Tarsus - May 14). They are so named because their feast days fall on the days of May 11, May 12, and May 13 respectively, which often saw the last cold snap of the season.
In the UK, the term the blackthorn winter is an old phrase, originating in rural England, to describe colder spring air.[1]
