Is there a St. Helier Day? The Jade Knight 22:23, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
MARCULF : MARCOUF !
It might be embarrassing for foreigners to find Saint MALCULF alternately with his British and with his French name MARCOUF. It should be said, that MARCOUF is the Frech form of his name. Omenvorte 22:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
The lifetimes of St Cunibert and St Helier do not overlap. According to the article, Helier's parents prayed to Cunibert before Heliers birth but according to the article on Cunibert he was born 45 years after Heliers death. 80.6.159.120 22:38 8 March 2008 (GMT) 76.173.244.75 ( talk) 21:01, 30 May 2009 (UTC)"who was already causing consternation with his youthful miracles"
"According to the hagiography, Romard discovered Helier’s body on the beach still clutching his head in his hands, placed it in a boat and set off for the mainland. The boat, guided by the hand of God, arrived at Bréville-sur-mer (Manche) where a reputedly miraculous healing spring arose on the spot where Helier’s body rested overnight"
can we add something that explains to children and the weak minded that these claims are of course completely and utterly ridiculous? it is not made sufficiently clear that these claims are completely and utterly untrue. encyclopedia are meant to help establish facts, not present fantastical stories in such a way that gullible people could interpret them as having some factual basis.
This section needs to be better cited or taken off. There is no citations citing the scholar G.R. Balleine. Furthermore, an encyclopedia do not represent one scholar's opinion regarding whether something actually happened or not. There needs to be more then just Balleine's viewpoint. Otherwise I think this section should be deleted. Hateloveschool ( talk) 19:14, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
