* Willibrord, bishop of Utrecht (739) - native of Northumbria, he
studied in Ireland before going to Frisia, which he evangelized
- every Whit-Tuesday, the folkloric Dancing Saints ritual is held at
his shrine (even bishops have taken part) 


The "dancing saints ritual?" I'd love to know what that is. Can anyone
explain?
