Saints' Biographies -- D Saint Dyfrig, the then "archbishop" of Wales, was obviously not meeting his 'quota', so David took over the primacy of Wales, and moved the See of Wales from Caerleon (in Monmouthshire) to the village which is now known as Saint David's ('Mynyw', or 'Menevia'). Saint Dyfrig was an important leader in the Church in south-east Wales and the Welsh Marches. Saint David's symbol is a dove, descending to a grassy mound. mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk /lop_myd/saints/biogs/d.htm

Saint Helier - Saint Hélyi - Saint Hélier Born in Wales in the VIth Century, Saint-Méen settles in the vicinity of St-Marcouf. The healing spring of Saint Méen to be found at Ste-Mère-Eglise in mainland Normandy owes its legendary origin to the saint striking the ground and causing water to flow. At the bottom of the lane is a pump, a lavoir, and a statue of the saint perched above the healing spring itself. www.societe-jersiaise.org /geraint/helier/saints.html

Sanctuary - The Ardennes forest - Mickael Therer - World Wide Panorama On X-mas Day Saint Vith is wiped in just 14 minutes under allied bombs, he will then set to cross the battlefield by foot to rejoin his family some 100 kms away. December 1944, Victor my grandfather is a young gendarme quartered in Malmedy and Saint Vith near the German border. For him like for many other civilians, caught in the battle, the Ardennes forest was the only possible sanctuary, the house basements were not safe during the dogfights or allied bombings, and the fighting was just about everywhere. geoimages.berkeley.edu /wwp1204/html/MickaelTherer.html

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Crusades Louis was led to Tunis by Charles of Anjou, but instead of encouraging his brother's ambition the saint endeavoured to thwart it. Charles had tried to take advantage of the vacancy of the Holy See between 1268 and 1271 in order to attack Constantinople, the negotiations of the popes with Michael Palæologus for religious union having heretofore prevented him. On hearing the reports of the missionaries, Louis resolved to land at Tunis, whose prince he hoped to convert to Christianity. www.newadvent.org /cathen/04543c.htm

Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3: Tactical Air Combat Over Europe To restrict enemy supplies and slow the German advance, Eisenhower's strategy required U.S. forces to take and hold the crossroads at Saint Vith and Bastogne, an already perilous task that became practically impossible without tactical air support.

Chafing at the uncooperative weather that made life miserable for infantryman and airman alike, General George Patton ordered the Third Army chaplain to devise a "weather prayer" to be published throughout the Third Army by December 14, two days before the Battle of the Bulge began: www.eu.microsoft.com /games/combatfs3/article_campaign4.asp
