Shortly after Saint Felix arrived at Gars am Inn, records indicate that a fire broke out in the German town. Just as the flames approached the marketplace—the town’s economic heart—a great wind came and blew them back. The town showered Felix with adoration; even today, around 100 ex-votos—tiny paintings depicting and expressing gratitude for a miracle, such as healing a sick man—are strewn about St. Felix’s body in the small, defunct chapel housing him.
Highly recommend the 2013 book Heavenly Bodies by Paul Koudounaris. In publishing the book, Koudounaris sought to find and photograph each of the “catacomb saints”. Gorgeous pictures and a very interesting story
Ironically, this is an extremely pagan and anit-Christian way to bury anyone.
When your custom character is in a cutscene.
Hell yeah!!!!!
If everyone could please remember NOT to do this to my body when I die, that would be greatly appreciated.
