This Shit Hits Me Where I Live

 

St. Cuthbert was a Celtic saint of the seventh century with such a reputation for performing miracles that he was known as the “Wonder Worker of Britain.” The written sources about his life provide a huge list of strange and marvelous events. He could control the wind, he healed the sick, and water that he tasted changed to wine. When a group of monks visited him, he asked them to cook a goose that was hanging on the wall. The monks did not do as they were asked, and a storm blew up that trapped them on St. Cuthbert’s island. Only after seven days did the monks cook the goose, and the tempest stopped at once.

Many of Cuthbert’s wonders involved the natural world, but one in particular is both cute and a little disappointing. Cuthbert had a habit of going down to the seashore to pray in the dead of night. Intrigued, one of his fellow monks followed him to see what Cuthbert was doing. Throughout the night, Cuthbert stood in the frigid waters of the North Sea, only returning to the beach in the morning. Understandably, Cuthbert’s legs were frozen, but the saint began to pray, and a pair of black otters appeared and rubbed and licked his legs until they were dry and warm.
