Description:

There are a bevy of Saints in Roman Catholicisim for about every issue one can imagine.

Do you have an affinity for a particular Saint? Will you share a story about your Saint and why he or she has meaning to you? What impact, if any has the your Saint had in your life?

For this swap share a story about your most favorite Saint or any Saint that has made an impression on you. Along with the story send a small item that represents or is symbolic of the Saint. This is your intrepretation, your symbol, presented as a tiny gift to your partner. This item does not have to be iconographic, it could be anything that is significant, simple, and affordable. It could fit into a letter size envelope for example.

This swap is open to those with a positive Saint story to share. You do not have to be Catholic or neccesarily religious. All I ask is that you be respectful of those who are devotees. No Catholic bashing is allowed.

This should be an inspirational and/or purely cultural exchange for all involved.

Newbies with filled out profiles. No-sends inquire within. Committed swappers only. I will delete you if you have unfullfilled or late swaps.

for those who aren't Catholic, how much knowledge is required? do you have to research every possible point on your chosen Saint, or is this just about how what you've known so far about him/her has affected your life?

dreamerkins, thanks for your interest! No, knowledge or serious research, or religious educational background is NOT required. It is about what you have learned personally. This is about sharing, no one should challenge anyone with facts, myths, history etc.
