I keep thinking about this now.. what would the world be like without tax collectors? Would there be any accountants? Yes there would.. but.. Much fewer I think!

Wow Brigid, you've certainly got the feel of those questions  Cheesy

There's still one left Brigid! Cheesy

Ah the last saint who begins with an 'e' is known as an exemplar of patience in adversity. . .

This high ranked military man converted to Christianity following a hunting trip during which he saw a glowing cross between the antlers of a stag, after which he received a prophecy that he would suffer for Christ. He was baptized with his wife, and two sons, also saints..

Before he converted, his peaceful name began with a 'p'..

He and his family were martyrs under Hadrian..
