Passing away, death

Saints do not die, they go to sleep in God, or something along these lines. Yes it is euphemistic, but we are using the terminology which best applies to the subject matter. --5telios 07:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article originally had "passed away", and it was changed to "died" some time ago. I agree with you, but your reasoning is, I'm afraid, non-NPOV. TCC (talk) (contribs) 09:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK - I won't insist. --5telios 09:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Popular Culture

I have removed the following nonsense about Morris Dancing:

Some folklore writers have attempted to link Mary of Egypt with the Morris dance. In 1280 Adam de la Halle wrote "Li Gieues de Robin et de Marion" (The Game of Robin and Marion). In the writings of folklorists this merges with the story of Robin Hood and Marion, who become characters associated with May Day games and Morris dancing. The popular Queen of the May custom then becomes a covert way of perpetuating a pagan goddess of love. This theory has recently been proposed by Margaret Allenby-Jaffe in "National Dance" (2006), though several Morris dance websites also mention it.

And replaced it with the massively important cultural reference in Faust. NBeale (talk) 14:02, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relation to The Life of Saint Mary the Harlot?

Is there any relation except for the name and the somewhat similar story? -- 77.187.35.58 (talk) 16:05, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
