St. BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX
Christian Saint
Also known as Bernard Of Clairveaux
Patron Saint of Gibraltar and Bee Keepers
Cisterian Abbot, theologian and mystic.
He promoted the Second Crusade and was firmly against the goings-on of Abelard.
Nevertheless his way with words earned him nicknames like ‘Doctor Mellifluous the Honey Sweet Teacher.’
He must have been fascinated by the Old Testament’s somewhat pseudo-erotic Song Of Songs (aka Canticle of Canticles) — he wrote eighty-six sermons on the subject. Ahem.
