Saint Desiderius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Desiderius was a Greek nun, born in 1023 in a northern suburb of Athens.
She was canonized by Pope Innocent VII in 1423, her feast day is May 23.
Veneration of Desiderius in Northern Greece has created a strong personality cult around the figure of Desiderius. Many followers claimed to have found relics with her figure on them. Anthropologists latered decided that these "relics" were indeed religious objects, but were far older. This figure was Eris, the Ancient Greek of Chaos. The similarity has sparked a series of smeer attacks against Saint Desiderius' core followers, claiming them to be Satanic Worshippers of Chaos.
