medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Greetings!
This query comes from a friend, who would like to know if any saints other
than Christine, Catherine, possibly Irene in the Greek world 
have snakes as their iconographical symbol and/or stories in their vitae
about being thrown into snake pits. I think she's appreciate any other
snake-pit stories as well! (She is looking for parallels to the Gunnar
episode in scandinavian sources). 
Meg
