Could the Gerardi Ma . . . be Gerard Majella (d.1755), a disciple of Alphonsus Liguori and patron of childbirth and infertile couples seeking to conceive? (Feast Day, Oct. 16). Dennis Martin >>> [log in to unmask] 09/15 9:34 AM >>> Just now I opened a cupboard in my church marked "Sanctus [sic] Oleum Infirmorum." Inside were not only the holy oils, but a plethora of relics. Not all were identified; those which were, were named in tiny print, and my old eyes are not what they used to be. There was a bit of "Gerardi Maj[oris?]" Who he? And another of "Bedae Con[fessoris?]" If that is whom I think it is, I am chuffed to be the custodian of an (admittedly very small) portion of the Venemous Bead.
