Saint Alenaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Saint Alena (died c. 640) is a Christian saint. Born in Dilbeek, just outside Brussels, Belgium, she was baptized without the knowledge of her pagan parents. She had to secretly attend mass and one night her father told his guards to follow her. Her father came to the conclusion that Christians had bewitched her into conversion. When her father's guards tried to arrest her she resisted, and during the fighting she lost her arm. Her severed arm was taken by an angel and placed before the altar in the chapel she attended. After these miracles her mother and father converted to Christianity. In traditional art she is seen with one arm severed, healing a blind man, or with an angel helping her.
