medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Just curious... is this a "celtic thing"? Twin dualism, dark/light brothers? Seems to me I recall something of the like from the Mabinogion. Has anyone come across any dark/light twin saints from other regions? Are there any more associated with celtic lands (as these brothers were "Irish educated")?
