medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I suspect it's not what you're looking for, but there is a very interesting icon of Mary of Egypt at http://www.ocf.org/OrthodoxPage/icons/data/mary.egypt.gif I can't help with Taela, except for the suggestion that it the "-taela" may be the latter part of a word. I know that the California city of San Ardo is in fact named after St. Bernard of Clairvaux, but the first part of his name got chopped off (as I've heard the story, because the post office kept mixing up San Bernardo and San Bernardino). But I'm wondering if your mystery saint might be somebody like Pantaleon (I know I'm mixing up genders, but that's just a first suggestion).
