Saint Foutin : ウィキペディア英語版 | Saint Foutin
Saint Foutin was a syncretic amalgam of Priapus with Pothinus, a figure of uncertain historicity alleged by Irenaeus to have been the first bishop of Lyon. The similarity of the name ''Pothinus'' and the Old French verb ''foutre'' led to linguistic assimilation;〔Elizabeth A. Chesney, ''The Rabelais Encyclopedia'', article on ''Saints, Imaginary''〕 the name ''Saint Foutin'' is roughly equivalent in modern English to ''Saint Fuck''. St. Foutin was immensely popular. He was believed to have a wonderful influence in restoring fertility to barren women and vigor and virility to impotent men. It is related that, in the church at Varages, in Provence, to such a degree of reputation had the shrine of this saint risen, it was customary for the afflicted to make a wax image of their impotent and flaccid organ, which was deposited on the shrine. On windy days the beadle and sexton were kept busy in picking up these imitations of decrepit and penitent male members from the floor, whither the wind wafted them, much to the annoyance and disturbance of the female portions of the congregation, whose devotions are said to have been sadly interfered with. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint Foutin」の詳細全文を読む
