Saint du Jour

[weaktwos]

February 12th's Saint is Saint Eulalia. She was tortured and burned alive at the age of 14. She lived in Spain. There is lore of Eulalia being either Barcelona or Merida. Or both. Both girls. Both torched alive. That's pretty darn tragic. However, what is not so tragic, considering the way in which one or both girls died, was Englebert's opening line about St. Eulalia:

"Eulalia was born of Christian parents, and from her early youth burned with a desire to become a martyr."

There you have it. She was burning in life, and she was burned to death.

Who was Englebert's editor? Who? Give that editor the cane! The cane!
