medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Saint Mary of Egypt always struck me as fairly odd.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am working on a project where I am going to be nominating some real saints
for some fictional/strange/humorous patronages. I would like the names of a
few "odd" saints so I can look them up. I have Christina the Amazing, of
course, and the little boy who was born, preached a sermon and died (and I'm
certain I can remember his name eventually). I have the names of some
interesting desert fathers and holy fools as well. I'm hoping a couple of
you on
this list will send me the names of a few more "odd" saints -- ones whose
legends are startling or unusual. Thanks, in advance, for any help.
Cheers,
Ann
