[Artemisia] Saint Alan

[Jacquie Ziegler]

Greetings all!

For a little education (what we are here for, after all!), it takes two 
verified Miracles to be beatified,
and thereby getting the title Blessed. Three Miracles and you are 
canonized and declared a Saint.

Saint Alan has three Miracles completely verified and recorded - those 
who were at Baronial Birthday
this past week heard the story of the haybales which is one of the 
Miracles, as recited by Duke Basil.
The Blessed Corisande has had two Miracles verified - one of which is 
that she is married to a Saint,
which is a Miracle in and of itself. :-D

I'll be speaking today with the scribe who wrote down the Miracles a few 
years ago to see about getting permission
to write them up for inclusion on the Kingdom website. She might also 
allow for the Rule of the Order
of Saint Alan to be put up.

The Hymn of Saint Alan is actually a co-opting of an existing piece, as 
it fits so well. From Gilbert and Sullivan's
'The Pirates of Penzance', the song 'A Policeman's Lot is Not a Happy 
One' has been declared as the official
Hymn of the Saint (and has been performed at least once to honor our 
Saint in his hearing).

Stay tuned for more information, if you dare!
