    Stories of Saints: Arnold of Soissons

    Stories of Saints: Francis of Assisi

    Francis of Assisi is quite well known for having established one of the most important Catholic orders in history for both brothers and sisters, upon whom he imposed the same vow of poverty he himself had taken. Spoiler alert: these are the Franciscans. But, did you know that Saint Francis of Assisi was once a party animal who indulged in a life of luxury? -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Contact Us Send an email at allegorystorypodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @allegorystorypodcast

    Stories of Saints: Joan of Arc

    How did a pious French woman with no military training convince the crown prince, Charles of Valois, to allow her to lead a French army to the besieged city of Orléans? And how, when she did this, did she achieve a stunning victory? Joan of Arc's story is filled with glory and inevitably also death, but it sure does take you on a roller coaster. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Contact Us Send an email at allegorystorypodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @allegorystorypodcast

    Stories of Saints: Agatha

    Saint Agatha was a young woman who was martyred in Sicily more than 1,700 years ago during the persecution of Decius. While some details of her story may come more from tradition than historical fact (and believe us, it's a doozy), there is no denying that she's been an inspiration for centuries. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Contact Us Send an email at allegorystorypodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @allegorystorypodcast

    Stories of Saints: Estelle

    Saint Estelle was an alleged third-century martyr in Gaul, daughter of an illustrious Roman and descended from a powerful family of Druids.

    Fairy Tales: Hansel and Gretel

    Most people are familiar with the story of Hansel and Gretel, a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm and published in their Grimm’s Fairy Tales in 1812. For those who haven't, what you need to know is that Hansel and Gretel are a brother and sister whose starving parents decide to abandon them in the forest. And so the story begins. But did you know that the story of Hansel and Gretel may have its roots in the great famine crises in early 14th century Europe?

    Fairy Tales: Mother Goose

    We’ve learned that many of the simple and seemingly innocent fairy tales we grew up reciting are actually quite dark and twisted. Today we're not going to talk about a specific fairy tale, but instead, we'll review some nursery rhymes that many of us heard growing up. Specifically Mother Goose rhymes. And who knew that Mother Goose's playful nursery rhymes emphasize cleverly masked social and political agendas? Not us! -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Contact Us Send an email at allegorystorypodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @allegorystorypodcast

    Fairy Tales: Rapunzel

    "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, so that I may climb thy golden stair." Truth be told, we never really liked Rapunzel. What's there to like? A damsel in distress who is stuck in a tower, and arguably kinda dumb (though whether this is entirely her fault or not is also up for debate). But who knew that once upon a time, Rapunzel flung magical nuts and plotted her own escape? -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Contact Us Send an email at allegorystorypodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @allegorystorypodcast
