Recently I highlighted a couple of places named for holy figures because they were discovered on those particular saints’ feast days. Those included Saint Martin in Southernmost Bangladesh<\/a> and various Christmas designations discovered on December 25<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the European nations with strong seafaring traditions participated. The Spanish, Portuguese, French and English all “discovered” distant lands and used saints as inspiration for place names. However, only locations found and named on actual feast days interested me for this exercise. I wondered how many I could find. Well, I found a lot. I don’t pretend to include an exhaustive list although I think I recorded several of the most popular ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few presented in chronological order by feast day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Saint Helena of Constantinople; May 21<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"St.<\/a>
St. Helena Island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Saint Helena of Constantinople earned reverence primarily because she gave birth to Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of the Roman empire. She influenced the son who in turn allowed Christianity to flourish without persecution across a massive geographic area. So that right there probably should have been enough. However, legends needed to be created and stories needed to be told to further accentuate her sainthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the tale went, she traveled to Jerusalem where she supposedly discovered the true cross. Actually the stories said she found all three crosses used in the crucifixion of Jesus and the two thieves executed with him. A miracle revealed Jesus’ specific cross, or so they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A remote island in the South Atlantic, way out in the ocean all by itself between Brazil and Africa, took her name. This place was so far in the middle of nowhere that the British exiled Napoleon Bonaparte there in 1815 for the remainder of his life so he couldn’t cause any more trouble. Today St. Helena (map<\/a>) forms part of a British Overseas Territory, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conventional wisdom noted for the longest time that Jo\u00e3o da Nova — sailing on behalf of the Portuguese — discovered and named St. Helena on her feast day, May 21, 1502. However, recent research seemed to cast doubt<\/a> on that claim. It may not have been mathematically possible. Still, many sources continued to make the argument so I kept it on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Saint John the Baptist; June 24<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"St.<\/a>
St. John’s, Newfoundland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I felt I probably didn’t need to provide an in-depth introduction to John the Baptist. He baptized Jesus and served as an immediate forerunner and influence. Naturally several faiths including Christianity and Islam considered him a prophet. His feast day became June 24 based on passages from the Gospel of Luke (specifically Luke 1:36<\/a> and 1:56<\/a>\u20131:57<\/a>). This established John’s birthday as six months before Jesus, so a simple subtraction from Christmas led to the selection of June 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Cabot, an Italian explorer sailing under the English flag, arrived at Newfoundland during his 1497 voyage. He sailed into a harbor on June 24 and named it for John the Baptist. The city of St. John’s later formed there (map<\/a>). Twelve Mile Circle “explored” St. Johns back in 2010 in St. John’s at Long Last<\/a>. Today the province of Newfoundland and Labrador celebrates Discovery Day<\/a> on the Monday closest to June 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portuguese explorers first recorded the St. John River<\/a> in Liberia on June 24 sometime in the 15th Century. Also the Spanish explorer Lucas V\u00e1zquez de Ayll\u00f3n did the same thing<\/a> at a river in South Carolina on June 24, 1520. He named it the river Jordan to honor the spot where St. John baptized Jesus. Later, English settlers changed the name to the Santee River to recognize a local tribe of native inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Saint Augustine of Hippo; August 28<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"St.<\/a>
St. Augustine, Florida<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Saint Augustine, one of the early Church Fathers<\/a> greatly influenced Christianity through his theology and philosophy. The Hippo part came from an area where he served as bishop, now in modern Algeria. He became the posthumous namesake and guide of the Augustinians<\/a>, and his teachings greatly influenced Martin Luther and by extension the Lutheran Church, amongst others. St. Augustine died on August 28, 430, so August 28 became his annual feast day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain grew concerned about French incursions on Florida and sent conquistador Pedro Men\u00e9ndez de Avil\u00e9s to the New World to protect its colonial claims. He spotted land on August 28, 1565, a date that coincided with St. Augustine’s feast day. In recognition, he named his settlement St. Augustine (map<\/a>). I decided to feature this location because I went there<\/a> a couple of years ago. Also the name of a local shop amused me: The Hyppo Gormet Ice Pops<\/a>, in playful honor of St. Augustine of Hippo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Saint Ursula; October 21<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Virgin<\/a>
Virgin Islands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Saint Ursula might have been my favorite. Well, maybe it could have been the 11,000 virgins. A couple of legends<\/a> existed. In the more common one, the princess Ursula along with ten ladies in waiting — each attended by a thousand maidens — went on a pilgrimage to Rome sometime around the year 451. They arrived successfully and did whatever pious things 11,011 virtuous women would do when visiting the Pope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way back, however, vicious pagan Huns captured them near Cologne. Ursula refused to marry the Hun leader so he ordered all of them slaughtered. Scant evidence of such a massive carnage ever existed so modern church historians took it all with a grain of salt. October 21 became her feast day although the Roman Catholic Church removed the event from its General Roman Calendar<\/a> in 1970.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christopher Columbus, on his second voyage, encountered and named a Caribbean archipelago on October 21, 1493: Santa \u00darsula y las Once Mil V\u00edrgenes. Later cartographers shortened it down to the Virgin Islands (map<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something similar happened on October 21, 1520. Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan discovered a straight at the tip of South America that he named for himself. The cape at the end of continental South America, however, became Cabo Virgenes (Cape Virgins).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were plenty of other places discovered on feast days. Many of those involved more obscure places so I’ll stop writing now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
