  • Saints Related to Young People
    Saints Related to Young People Thomas Aquinas—Academics Thomas was a gentle teacher who believed faith and reason when used wisely would enable all humanity to know and love God as the angels. He studied in Paris from 1245-1248 under Saint Albert the Great, then accompanied Albertus to Cologne. Here he received the nickname “dumb ox,” though he is now considered a Doctor of the Church, and one of the most intelligent philosophers of all time. Vitus—Against Oversleeping For obscure reasons, some 16th century Germans believed they could obtain a year's good health by dancing before the statue of Saint Vitus on his feast day. This dancing developed almost into a mania, and was confused with chorea, the nervous condition later known as Saint Vitus' Dance, the saint being invoked against it. Francis of Assisi—Animals, Catholic Action It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching. Son of a rich cloth merchant. Misspent youth. Street brawler and some-time soldier. During an imprisonment in Perugia, he had a conversion experience, including a reported message from Christ calling him to leave this worldly life. Upon release, Francis began taking his religion seriously. Christopher—Drivers His fame derives from the pious legend of him being a "Christ-bearer" (= Christopher). He was a powerfully built man who wandered the world in search of novelty and adventure. He came upon a hermit who lived beside a dangerous stream and served others by guiding them to safe places to cross. George—Boy Scouts Several stories have been attached to Saint George, the best known of which is the Golden Legend.

  • SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church
    (CE:2171b-2190a) SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, list of saints used in the Coptic church. [This entry consists of two articles, Editions of the Synaxarion and The List of Saints.] Editions of the Synaxarion This book, which has become a liturgical book, is very important for the history of the Coptic church. It appears in two forms: the recension from Lower Egypt, which is the quasi-official book of the Coptic church from Alexandria to Aswan, and the recension from Upper Egypt. Egypt has long preserved this separation into two Egypts, Upper and Lower, and this division was translated into daily life through different usages, and in particular through different religious books. This book is the result of various endeavors, of which the Synaxarion itself speaks, for it mentions different usages here or there. It poses several questions that we cannot answer with any certainty: Who compiled the Synaxarion, and who was the first to take the initiative? Who made the final revision, and where was it done? It seems evident that the intention was to compile this book for the Coptic church in imitation of the Greek list of saints, and that the author or authors drew their inspiration from that work, for several notices are obviously taken from the Synaxarion called that of Constantinople. The reader may have recourse to several editions or translations, each of which has its advantages and its disadvantages. Let us take them in chronological order. The oldest translation (German) is that of the great German Arabist F. Wüstenfeld, who produced the edition with a German translation of part of al-Maqrizi's Khitat, concerning the Coptic church, under the title Macrizi's Geschichte der Copten (Göttingen, 1845).

  • Fourteen Holy Helpers (F.D
    FOURTEEN HOLY HELPERS (F.D. AUGUST 8) (As used by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russian, Western Rite Vicariate) A group of saints invoked with special confidence because they have proven themselves efficacious helpers in adversity and difficulties, are known and venerated under the name Fourteen Holy Helpers. Devotion to these fourteen as a group spread in response to the Black Plague which devastated Europe from 1346 to 1349. Among its symptoms were the tongue turning black, a parched throat, violent headache, fever, and boils on the abdomen. It attacked without warning, robbed its victims of reason, and killed within a few hours; many died without the last Sacraments. Brigands roamed the roads, people suspected of contagion were attacked, animals died, people starved, whole villages vanished into the grave, social order and family ties broke down, and the disease appeared incurable. The pious turned to heaven, begging the intervention of the saints, praying to be spared or cured. This group devotion began in Germany. The names of the fourteen Saints varied from place to place, but the primary principle of their selection was the efficacy of their intercession against various diseases—most, but not all, were venerated as Martyrs. Typically named are the following Saints: Achatius (Agathius), Barbara, Blaise, Catherine of Alexandria, Christopher, Cyriacus, Dionysius (Denys), Erasmus (Elmo) of Formia, Eustace (Eustathius), George, Giles, Margaret of Antioch, Panteleimon, & Vitus. For one or other of the above were sometimes named Saints Anthony the Great, Leonard, Nicholas, or Sebastian. Sts. Christopher and Giles were invoked against the plague itself. St. Dionysius was prayed to for relief from headache, St.
