Catholic Nerd Game round VIII

I'm sorry I couldn't get a better picture of this saint. To make up for it, I will post two pictures.

Here is round VIII:




Here is a clue: The Sober Sophomore shouldn't have to seek this saint's intercession.







Good Luck!

Yours in Christ,
Thursday

:-/ You may have me here. I'm not sure; but I do have a pretty good guess because today is the feast of St. Secundina, a virgin martyr who was flogged to death.

Sorry, that is not it. The clue is really important.

lol first one wrong! Well, since I don't need to seek this saint's intercession, I guess I just don't know.

LOL

Well, I'll keep thinking.

Thursday said...

How about one more guess sober sophomore!

I can't manage to find anyone who matches your clue and the pictures.

Thursday said...

Someone who is sober will never wake up with a (blank) the next morning.

(I really want someone to get this one!)

Well then it's St. Bibiana. I was looking under alcohol and alcoholism.

Thursday said...

Correct! She is also known as Viviana. The Spanish translation of her name (Bibiana) was taken as being her name in latin. Bibiana means full of drink in latin, so she became the patron saint for those with hangovers.

Or Vibiana. I just saw her tomb in LA.

Thursday said...

Vibiana just seems schizophrenic! The Vs became Bs in Spanish, it seems strange to take one of each.
