The Life of St. Expedite
Expedite was a Roman soldier in Armenia who decided to follow Christ. A fun story says the devil appeared as a crow crying "Cras! Cras!", Latin for "Tomorrow!", trying to make him put it off.
Expedite stomped on the crow and shouted "Hodie!", "Today!" That is why he is shown holding a cross marked Hodie with a crow under his foot, and why people turn to him for urgent needs and for help beating procrastination.
