This Saint Denis guy takes 'keep moving forward' to a whole new level. Like, dude, you can take a break, it’s okay. 😆

Denis didn't just shake it off—he performed a sermon sans head. Early Christians would recount these stories to inspire faith in a time when being Christian could get you killed. It's quite poetic when you see it as a metaphor about spiritual resilience in the face of persecution.

Ah yes, 'the saints are just alright'. Seriously, tales of saints are like the comic book superheroes of the past. Over-the-top and stretching believability, but hey, they give people something to believe in I guess.

Stuff like this is why I love history! It’s not just dates and politics, it's these wild, bloody, and sometimes downright creepy stories. Headless saints, spectral armies, cursed objects - history is a goldmine for horror fans!

It's a matter of pride here in Paris! The Basilica of Saint-Denis is where he’s said to have finally collapsed. It's also where many kings of France are buried. The place is steeped in history, and the story of Saint Denis adds a layer of mystique to our city. Definitely worth a visit!

Not to be that person but y’all realize this is physically impossible, right? There's obviously a lot of embellishment in these legends. Got to wonder what the real story was.

Actually, this story reflects a common hagiographic trope where martyred saints perform miraculous deeds after death. It's meant to illustrate their sanctity and divine favor. Montmartre itself is named after this legend, 'mountain of the martyr'. Throughout medieval iconography, Denis is often depicted holding his own head, a vivid reminder of his faith and sacrifice.

Bro, can you imagine that? Losing your head and still going to work. Today, people call out for a sneeze. Saint Denis was on another level! 😂
