At least St. Eulalia was not martyred for hanging on to her virginity. A lot of these stories have quite a sadistic tinge to them. I remember reading them as a 12-year-old and finding them disturbing.<BR/><BR/>Alison,<BR/>I found out that these days, in Barcelona, the Feast of St. Eulalia is the occasion of a four-day-festival for the city's children.

What a tale. <BR/><BR/>I made a point to use a saint name somewhere in each of my kids' names, but even though Sophia was a martyr (really she's an allegory...), nothing like this is in any of their tales.Bridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843150280542615265noreply@blogger.com
