Happy saints day to all .Even those over 5'6"

I have been reading this book for a short while, i have nearly finished part one yet have still to read about the hero, Warren. I have done a bit of research about him and discovered some jaw dropping facts; he was a friend and dancer for David Bowie, is also a bunny sanctuary whose blog can be found at http://wpbs.blogspot.com/ Warren Pleace is a well known comic artist, war and death is a vaguely amusing woody Allen film.

For your education entertainment and spiritual viewing pleasure:


Name days:The following Name days are real and celebrated in the countries shown, though are culled from various religions.
CARA
English Cara April the 13th (little is known about saint cara other than the fact that she is a saint whose day is celebrated,in England , on 13th april. Much more is known about
Irene Cara, star of flash dance whose extensive film and music career is viewable at http://www.irenecara.com/homepage.html

CHRISTOPHER
English Christopher July the 25th

(apparently no longer an actual saint, the Vatican dropped this tall fellow after their 1969 reform of the liturgical calender. Ranging in size from 18-27 feet, yes feet, it was decided by the powers that be that this holy one man sea bus was just too made up to be possible)

DENISE
English Denise October the 9th
French Denise May the 15th
Latvian Denise October the 7th
Swedish Denise August the 7th

Denise was brutally whipped by the authorities, and her young son witnessed this spectacle. Denise, however, exhorted her son to remain strong in his faith.She was then, with her sister and son, burned alive. Charming family day out

Czech Martin November the 11th
English Martin November the 11th
Estonian Martin November the 10th
French Martin November the 11th
German Martin November the 11th
Slovak Martin November the 11th
Swedish Martin November the 10th
Spanish Martín April the 13th

Apparently saint martin had the ability to fly and shoot laser beams from his eyes. He had super strength that he used to fight crime, or that could be superman

PATRICIA
English Patricia August the 25th
Hungarian Patricia August the 25th
Slovak Patrícia July the 6th
Swedish Patricia April the 16th
Spanish Patricia March the 13th

Her blood, like that of Januarius, the other, more famous patron saint of Naples, is also said to liquefy periodically.The associated legend states that after Patricia died, a zealous man pulled out one of her teeth, causing the body to hemorrage. Patricia's followers collected the blood and exposed it. It then liquefied. Her blood is said to turn to liquid on her feast day of August 25, and on every Tuesday morning. Which is nice.

Estonian Sandra April the 19th
Latvian Sandra November the 8th

An anagram of saint Sandra is- Satan drains. saint sandy?-and is nasty

Miscellaneous information:

Napoleon was reckoned to be 5'6", perfectly average height for a Frenchman of his time period, the mix up comes from the fact that the British and French used different measurements. In French feet he was 5'2"
