So would I.
And curious to hear anyone's ideas on the elementary question (sorry)
of why it was that Mary Magdalen was a favored hospital patron, at
least in some regions (Chartres and Chateaudun, at least). ?
And, while "Saint" Lazarus would seem to be a natural patron for the sick in
general, why was he so popular for Leprsaria in particular?
Or were these dedications merely localized to the limited areas of my own very
limited knowledge?
Best to all from here,
Christopher
