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.

Famous quotes containing the word christian:
“The North is full of tangled things and texts and aching eyes
And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise,
And Christian killeth Christian in a narrow dusty room,
And Christian dreadeth Christ that hath a newer face of doom,
And Christian hateth Mary that God kissed in Galilee,”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
