I just happened to see this under my Yahoo account. It is from MSN, so I don't know how accurate it is. But in order to read about this, click the arrow on the right side, in the picture, then read the caption underneath:
The article notes that half of the saints in this group probably never existed.
So, how many have heard of this group? I know the RCC no longer has a feast day dedicated to this group, but it still has feast days dedicated to other saints.
St. Blaise is mentioned: he is the "patron saint of sore throats", something we discussed here on the last boards. How utterly...ridiculous can it get? Patron saint one invokes for a sore throat??? What's next--a patron saint for ingrown toenails?
