Christian legenda
In the narrow Christian sense, legenda ("things to be read ") were hagiographical accounts, often collected in a legendary (legendarium).
Because saints' lives are often included many miracle stories, "legend" in a wider sense came to refer to any story that is set in a historical context but that contains supernatural or fantastic elements.
