The French expression "une grenouille de bénitier" (literally “a holy water font frog”) refers to a very pious person who spends a lot of time at church. 🕊️
Just like a frog always stays near water, this person is never far from the holy water font! 🐸⛪️

💬 Example:
My aunt Jeanne is very religious; she goes to mass every day!
👉 She’s a real churchgoer!
