Happy All Saints Day! Yesterday was Halloween, and here at the library we costumed ourselves as saints (ones that had particularly Halloween-y stories). For example, we have St. Lucy. She rejected her soon-to-be bridegroom, and he denounced her as a Christian in the early 4th century Italy. Legend has it she had her eyes torn out before she was martyred. St. Stephen, the first martyr for the Church, was stoned to death in approximately 33 AD. Last, but not least, we have St. Olaf. A Viking pirate, he was King of Norway in the early 11th century. He was exiled from his kingdom, and martyred on his attempt to retake his throne.
