March 7 - Feast of Saints Perpetua and Felicitas, patron saint of married women

So I guess you're supposed to tag people to do this, so Margie and Josh you're it!.

Three historical events that occurred on March 7:
1.In the year 161 Roman Emperor Antonius Pilus dies and is succeeded by co-emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucious Verus, an unprecedented political arrangement in the Roman Empire.
2. In the year 1876 Alexander Graham Bell is granted a patent for an invention he calls the "telephone." (pantent #174,464)
3. In the year 1911 Revolution broke out in Mexico.

Besides me, three people who were born on March 7:
1. 1687 Jean LeBeuf - French Historian
2. 1946 Peter Woolfe - American Musician
3. 1971 Rachel Wiesz - British Actress

Two significant deaths on March 7:
1. 322 B.C. Aristotle
2. 1274 Thomas Aquinus


Two March 7 holidays or observances:

In San Fransisco, unofficially "Metallica Day"
