elmo

(Other definitions for elmo that I've seen before include "Sesame Street character - patron saint of sailors (with his own fire)" , "Saint associated with fire" , "St ...'s fire, weather phenomenon of coloured glow" , "Fiery saint" , "St ----'s Fire: aura from electrical discharge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
