Episode 1627: St. Leonard of Reresby
Saint Leonard of Reresby was an English knight and crusader who lived in the 13th century. He is known for his miraculous escape from captivity in the Holy Land.
According to legend, Leonard was captured by the Saracens during the Crusades and held prisoner for seven years. During his captivity, he prayed fervently for his freedom. One day, he was miraculously transported back to his home village of Thrybergh in Yorkshire, England. He arrived still in his shackles and chains, and fell unconscious at the door of the church.
Leonard's wife had assumed him dead and was about to remarry when he reappeared. His miraculous return was seen as a sign of God's favor, and he was soon venerated as a saint.
Leonard is said to have lived a holy life after his return from captivity. He was known for his kindness and compassion, and he was always willing to help those in need. He died in peace surrounded by his loved ones.
St. Leonard of Reresby is the patron saint of prisoners and captives. He is also invoked for protection against storms and shipwrecks. His feast day is celebrated on November 6th.
The first written record of his story appears in the 17th century, over 300 years after his supposed death. However, there is evidence that a chantry chapel dedicated to St. Leonard was established in Thrybergh in the 14th century. This suggests that the story of St. Leonard was well-known and respected at the time.
St. Leonard of Reresby is an important figure in English folk tradition. His story is a reminder that God is always with us, even in the darkest of times
