Subject: [M-R] saints of the day 3. March
> medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
>
> Today (3. March) is the feast day of:
>
> Nonna (d. c. 540) The mother of David of Wales. Legend tells that Nonna
> (Non) was a noble (and very beautiful) young woman in the convent at Ty
> Gwyn. A local chieftain, Sant, raped her, and the result was David.
> Another legend tells that N was married to Sant. A number of place names
> attest to N's popularity in Cornwall and Brittany
>
> Winwaloe (6th cent.) Winwaloe (Guenole) was a Breton saint. Legend tells
> that he became a hermit on a coastal island, then settled with a group of
> monks on another island. It was a very exposed location, though, and
> after sticking it out for three years they migrated to the mainland, where
> W. founded the monastery of Landevennec. W. is shown in art with a goose.
> This is probably in reference to a rather odd miracle: his sister had an
> eye plucked out by a goose. W. ordered the goose to cough up the eye,
> which it did. Then W. replaced it in its socket.
>
> Kunigunde (d. 1039) Kunigunde of Luxembourg married Duke Henry of
> Bavaria, who succeeded Otto III as Emperor Henry II. K. is commemorated
> as a virgin, but there seems to be no basis to the legend that K. and H.
> took a vow of chastity on their wedding day.K. joined with H. in founding
> the diocese of Bamberg and the monastery of Kaufungen. When widowed, she
> devoted herself completely to the religious life. She was canonized in
> 1200.
>
> Gervinus (d. 1075) Gervinus was a canon of Rheims who gave up his
> comfortable life to become a monk at St-Vanne, Verdun, from which he moved
> on to be abbot of St-Riquier. G. was famous for his holiness, to which he
> added an interesting twist by contracting leprosy (or at least what was
> called leprosy). He suffered for four years, then died. When his body
> was washed, all trace of the leprosy had vanished.
>
> Peter Geremia (blessed) (d. 1452) Peter was a native of Palermo who
> studied law at Bologna. But a vision persuaded him to give up law and get
> religion. He became a Dominican and yet another of those wonderful
> fifteenth-century preachers. PG was commissioned by the pope to reform
> the Sicilian clergy, became prior of St. Zita's, and had a reputation for
> mildness and general holiness.
