Seafarers used to witness a mysterious phenomenon back in the days when sailing ships were the only means
of sea travel. After encountering tempests and violent thunderstorms, they sometimes saw what appeared to be
a pale fire burning at the tip of the mast. Thinking it was a sign of God's blessing, they named the phenomenon
Saint Elmo's Fire after the patron saint of sailors. It can also be seen on church steeples, mountaintops,
the tips of antenna and other such places.
