I had to google it.
The patron saint of the USA is ...
... the Virgin Mary!

Trust the Yanks to go one better than every other country! 😉

Dive, may I ask if there is a similar holiday for King Alfred over there?

Alfred The Great?

Oh ... and he burnt some cakes and did a deal with the Vikings.

But no holiday unfortunately.
