D. 1297. _Sts. Thalasius_ and _Limneus_. _St. Baradat._
_St. Margaret._
She was a penitent, asked public pardon for her sins with a rope about
her neck, punished her flesh, and worked miracles accordingly.[7]
_Sts. Thalasius_ and _Limneus_.
St. Thalasius dwelt in a cavern, “and was endowed with extraordinary
gifts of the Holy Ghost; but was a treasure unknown to the world.” St.
Limneus was his disciple, and “famous for miraculous cures of the sick,”
while his master “bore patiently the sharpest cholics, and other
distempers, without any human succour.”[8]
_St. Baradat._
This saint lived in a trellis-hut, exposed to the severities of the
weather, and clothed in the skins of beasts.[9]
