Saint Dahlia
Continuing with our endless journey through the biographies of the great characters of history, we stop, so as not to step on him, in front of Dalia , Christian nobleman who lived at the end of the century, beginning of the next.
Gregory Gustaf Dalianevof, son of his father and his mother and brother of his sister, brought his face to light for the first time in the vast Norman steppes of Normandy. He was born at the age of 5 with a fully developed body, except for minor deficiencies such as the complete absence of fingernails. Of all.
Far from being a handicap, Dalia combined an extraordinary strength to live with a no less portentous optimism when looking at life. Soon, at about 9 a.m., he began to suffer in his flesh the stigmas typical of the saints of the time. See hair loss, stooping of the spine, shooting pains in the big toe...
Evidently the Church echoed such phenomena and called Dalia to a personal meeting with the holy father. At that meeting, the Pope did nothing but be amazed at the experiences of that 37-year-old boy.
Remarkable are the anecdotes in which the young Dalia left his home in the wee hours of the morning, entering gloomy bonsai forests, totally absorbed and far from earthly life, or what is known as a sleepwalker, walking at a brisk and determined pace. toward what he would define as an intense light that as it got closer turned into two intense lights that as they got closer turned into two lights and a loud beep capable of tormenting the most robust man, that at the moment of approaching until making contact with Dalia himself was capable of inexplicably making anyone lose consciousness.
After recovering from that outrage, Dalia decided to convert to Christianity, realizing that he had one egg hanging and the other the same, reaching a rather low level of mysticism, but there it was.
At the age of 45, Dalia passed away, a victim of the terrible gout, amid shocking cries of pain. Someone else's screams, but screams nonetheless.
In his honour, that shoe that Dalia had painstakingly modified by cutting off the toe of the shoe to release the tremendous thumb pain, pain that the Blessed Pope also suffered and that he saw relieved by applying the same techniques, Gregorio Gustaf Dalianevof entered be part of the Christian saints with the nickname of San Dalia .
