Records

I had a dream shortly before my little niece was born in which I dreamed of being religiously tortured with something resembling a heretics fork (I looked up medieval torture devices on the internet until I found the one in my dream) and arrows with blood flying all around me. I had posted about this dream on LJ right before my niece was born. Anyway, Fatima was mentioned and upon some research I discovered that Fatima, Portugal was a famous site of the Virgin Mary to 3 children and prophecies about WWI and II as well as other stuff. I had also dreamed the name of St. Germain. I don't know why I waited so long to research that name. There are so many Saints and I have done some research on some of them as they have become a source of interest for me. Again not sure why. Anyway I'm currently reading a biography of Francis of Assisi which is fascinating but I digress. Just on a fluke I googled St. Germain not expecting anything to come up. I probably should not have been surprised to find out that he was born c. 496 and died May of 576. His feast day is celebrated May 28. He was a bishop of Paris. This is according to a Catholic site. Another site apparently tracks the different incarnations believed to be lived by St. Germain including Christopher Columbus, Francis Bacon, and Merlin. Interesting...but why am I dreaming about Saints especially ones I have never heard of? Maybe I should ask my priest...
