I had no idea these saints were grouped together in connection with the black plague. (Learn something every day! ~Smiles)

At first glance, I read that as ‘lepers’ and thought “I only remember one.”

I had never heard of this grouping either. Interesting.

Perhaps we can ask them to help rid us of our current political plague.

We used to call them the Fourteen Holy Martyrs.

Isn’t poor Christopher on the list of saints we’re not able to prove existed?

His legacy exists only in Tradition and that’s not enough these days... for some people.
