medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Star-gazers:
May I ask if anyone knows of saints' lives that mention the association
of a STAR with a saint? Examples: a star foretelling the saint's birth;
a star following him or her around or portending some event; a star
hovering over a place as a sign; the saint being compared to a star; a
star as a symbol of LIGHT, which the saint possesses; the saint as a
"star" of his religious order.
I would much appreciate your guidance.
thank you.
