Oh the inherent eroticism of wishing to take the skull of your beloved fellow monk to use as a vessel to eat and drink from in honor of their memory

brother juniper the fool of god my beloved.... he would give his robe to anyone in need who asked for it, and eventually was forbidden from doing so. when he was next asked for his robe, he said that he could not give it to the beggar, but if the beggar were to take it he would not resist.

once he was recognised as the holy man and he immediately ran away to a playground because that's stressful, man.

YASSSSSSSS ANOTHER VOTE FOR BROTHER JUNIPER!!!!

He'll need more to make it to the beatified bracket!!
