Saint Catherine's story is a fairly magical one. She spent her life completely devoted to God, to her parents dismay. When her parents tried to convince her to marry, she cut off all of her hair, scalded herself and joined a nunnery. 

'Shortly after she joined the nunnery she had a vision of Jesus placing a ring on her finger in marriage. This ring, for the record, was no ordinary wedding band; instead of gold it was made from the baby Jesus' holy foreskin, a popular relic at the time. For the rest of her life, Catherine said she could see the ring on her finger.' 

How bizarre that a woman has an imaginary baby foreskin wrapped around her finger? How could anyone have taken this woman seriously. It's tales like this that really infuse a humorous aspect in the Saints and honestly make me laugh. 

Catherine died at the age of 33 and was canonized (declared a Saint) a century later. Her hometown of Siena wished to have her body, so tried to smuggle her from Rome. As there were guards present they decided to remove her head only. The guards did catch them, but Catherines spirit transformed the head into rose petals as a disguise. Her head re-materialized once back in Siena. 

The relic of Saint Catherine did indeed seem magical, so is worshiped still today. What does it even mean to worship a relic? Do people speak to it and ask it to help with their problems? Is Catherines shriveled head the equivalent of an agony aunt? 

I think that there is reall potential to create a piece that has a humorous element, perhaps I can produce some witty descricptions?
