Sint Winifred's cherry maagdelijkheid van St. Winifred Explanation: In het boek Dictionary of Phrase & Fable van Wordsworth staat het volgende over St. Winifred: Patron saint of virgins, because she was beheaded by Prince Caradoc for refusing to marry him. She was Welsh by birth, and the legend says that her head falling on the ground originated the famous healing well of St Winifred in Flintshire. She is usually drawn like St Denis, carrying her head in her hand. Holywell, in Wales, is St Winifred's Well, celebrated for its 'miraculous' virtues. Met zo'n verhaal lijkt het me toch waarschijnlijker dat het eerder gaat om die maagdelijkheid dan om een kersenboom. |
