Hi all.
I just wanted to start this for a giggle and to remind us that the Saints, as well as being alive now, lived as we did with all the trials and tribulations of daily life.
So, if you have any interesting or random facts about them, put them here.
i will start...
In 375AD, Saint Gregory of Nyssa was arrested for embezzling church funds. He only regained his See 3 years later under amnesty granted when the new Emperor was enthroned.

St. Nicholas of Myra punched Arius in the face (probably my favourite one)

Saint Anthony the Great tried to get himself Martyred by preaching in Alexandria in 311. After 2 years of trying the Edict of Milan was signed so he gave up and returned to the desert.
