RP: This "Saint Kenan's Bathing Incident" Seems Just a Tad Too STEAMY -- Wouldn't You AGREE???

RE-PRINTED from herehttp://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2016/05/this-saint-kenans-bathing-incident.html



Yes, yes, I KNOW St. Kenan appears to be an escapee from a Futuristic Fantasy (with throwback references), but if his body doesn't DECAY, why shouldn't he UPDATE it???


>>> WHAT I'LL DO is paste the passage below, re-punctuating and touching it up a bit -- but I'm not sure it will make PERFECT sense -- and it came from here:

According to the martyrology of Oengus, body Kenan remained without corruption in the grave. This is a day of Cairnech Tuilen came to see. Naturally, we wanted to prepare him a bath. 
"It's boring" Kenan said, "- what Cairnech request. The pool is bottomless.  . . . Do it and fill you wash." 

Water is poured: not a drop is lost. 

"Enter into the hot-tub," said Kenan, who does the same.

"How beautiful is this body, OH!" exclaims Cairnech, priest.

"Now, yes . . . but one day!"

"I pray God that it remains well intact until 'the coming of Christ' -- the great judgment," Cairnech said. 



From the calendar, Hot Priests (2014 edition), published in Rome, Italy



It is granted. Every year on Holy Thursdaya bishop just cut hair and nails of the deceased. Adamnan, his successor, who wanted to watch the saint's body with curiosity soon lost sight. It was found that -- after a RIGOROUS fast. 
Since then, nobody has dared to open the grave!
