Bernard of Angers, The Book of the Miracles of Saint Foy (early 11th century)
Edited and translated by Patrick J. Geary, in his Readings in Medieval History
(2003), pp. 328-334.
Saint Foy (Faith) was traditionally reputed to have been a girl of twelve mart
yred (殉教) at Agen (地名，文中地名均在法国) in 303. In the ninth century monks
from the monastery of Conques stole her relics (圣髑) and brought them to their
monastery where they became the object of a major pilgrimage from the tenth
century. The body of the saint was kept in a case reliquary (圣髑盒) while the
head was venerated in a golden statue which represented the young women seated
in glory. Bernard of Angers, made three pilgrimages to Conques and, although
at first skeptical of the cult, was entirely won over to the saint. His book of
her miracles helped to spread the cult of Saint Foy across Europe and also
served as a model for hagiographical dossiers for other cults.
It is an ancient custom in all of Auvergne, Rodez, Toulouse and the neighboring
regions that the local saint has a statue of gold, silver, or some other metal
…[that] serves as a reliquary for the head of the saint or for a part of his
body. The learned might see in this a superstition and a vestige of the cult of
demons, and I myself … had the same impression the first time I saw the statue
of Saint Gerard … resplendent with gold and stones, with an expression so
human that the simple people sense that they are being watched … and they
pretend that it winks at pilgrims whose prayers it answer. I admit to my shame
that turning to my friend Bernerius and laughing I whispered to him in Latin,
”What do you think of the idol? Wouldn’t Jupiter or Mars be happy with it?”
And Bernerius was inspired to add rather ingenuous jokes and to revile the
statue. …
Three days later we arrived as Saint Foy. … We approached [the reliquary]
but the crowd was such that we could not prostrate ourselves like so many others
already lying on the floor. Unhappy, I remained standing, fixing my view on the
image and murmuring this prayer, “Saint Foy, you whose relics rest in this
sham, come to my assistance on the day of judgment. ” And this time again I
looked at [Bernerius] … because I found it outrageous that all these rational
beings should be praying to a mute and inanimate object. …
Later I greatly regretted to have acted so stupidly toward the saint of
God. This was because among other miracles Don Adalgerius, at that time dean
and later … abbot [of Conques] told me a remarkable account of a cleric named
Oldaric. One day when the venerable image had to be taken to another place …
he restrained the crowd from bringing offerings and he insulted and belittled
the image of the saint … The next night, a lady of imposing severity appeared
to him:“You,” she said, “how dare you insult my image?” Having said this,
she flogged her enemy with a staff … He survived only long enough to tell the
vision in the morning.
Thus there is no place left for arguing whether the effigy of Saint Foy
ought to be venerated since it is clear that he who reproached the holy martyr
nevertheless received back his reproach. Nor is it a spurious idol, before
which nefarious rites of sacrifice or of divination are conducted, but rather
a pious memorial of a holy virgin, before which great numbers of faithful
people decently and eloquently implore her efficacious intercession for their
sins.
