Saint Catherine was beheaded that milk flowed from her body instead of blood. How’s the husband expected to respond to that? Saint Cecilia, an angel told her to tell her groom she was to remain untouched. Saint Brigid, cows gave extra milk and tubs of water became beer. If these events were even remotely true they would not be described as miracle-workers (do they point to God? To love?) but magic-makers. I mean, this takes hagiography to a whole new level of superstition and make-believe. hahaĭelightful illustrations and interesting catalogue of saints. I wish Æthelstan was a saint but he's fictional, you know. I do wish that they would have added Santa Lucia, Saint Elizabeth of hungry and her miracle of the roses. Patrick may be patron saint of Ireland but saint Brigid is saint of Ireland and she can turn water into beer. He saved the king's daughter from being sacrificed to the Dragon. My favorite saint is Saint George from the fourth century, patron saint of England. I like to see the lives of the saints because they are a good example of people that dedicated their lives to a christian purpose whether it be something I approve of or not. Are you going to start lighting candles and praying to your aunt that dedicated her life to Christ? No. This isn't true, they are idles when people put a shrine in their house and pray to the saints.Īnyone that dies and goes to Heaven is considered a saint according to the Holy Bible so that means that your family that died in Christ are saints. The Catholic Vatican says that Saints are not idles because they are not worshiped but only a symbol of a godly and saintly life.
In this book we see the early centuries of saints dying after the fall of the Roman empire for their faith and in the next book we see people that say that Mary supposedly appeared to them or they were made saints after their death by the church for their deeds (most saints were already in the church). I can tell that the early saints were worshipers or martyrs of Jesus, and in later centuries commenced the idolatry of Mary.
