Come on and send us your design. We won't say a verdict until March, after the bank holiday in Sant Cugat.
Chrystelij students might not know that 3rd March is a holiday in Sant Cugat: "Sant Medir", the saint patron.
The origins of this holiday is told in this legend:
The good peasant Medir
lived around 303, during the Roman rule of Diocletian, who led a brutal
persecution of Christians. One of them, Bishop Sever, decided to escape
to Barcelona as he was in danger and constantly persecuted by the
Romans; so he undertook a pilgrimage to Sant Cugat, where he found the
peasant Medir, who was planting beans.
The Bishop told Medir the reason
for his escape and, determined to die for the faith to Jesus Christ,
he said that if someone asked for him, he had to tell the truth. After the bishop had left, the beans began to grow and flourish in a miraculous way.
Soon after, the Roman persecutors saw
the peasant Medir and they asked him for the Bishop. The peasant told
them he had just seen the bishop while he was planting the beans. The Romans did not believe his story when they saw the grown beans and, feeling cheated,
they caught Medir. Once they had captured the bishop as well, they were both imprisoned and martyred to death.
