CEPHALAPHORE
I'm so tempted just to make you look it up, but I'll be nice ... this time!
It's a head-carrier - a saint who has been beheaded, and then picks up his head and walks around with it. Example: St. Denis. Martyred at Montmartre, France, then picked up his head and walked to the present-day location of the Abbey of St.-Denis. Just FYI.
Another great word to use in everyday conversation! I have started a list of vocabulary words on poster board on the wall. I will definitely add this one!
ReplyDeleteNeat story...
ReplyDeleteHow about the name "Denis" for you knight?
Or you could always name him Sir Bryan. Look up the A A Milne poem if you don't know it. :)
AHHHH! I just read it! That's histerical! I love Sir Bryan! ... but I think my knight is probably not quite as violent; but for all I know, he could be ten times as intensely SERIOUS as that particular knight ...
