PLEASE CHECK OUR FABULOUS POSITIVE FEEDBACKS! YOU CAN BID WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE! Solange(died 10 May. C. 880) was a Frankish shepherdess and a locally-venerated Christian saint, whose cult is restricted to Sainte-Solange, Cher. Saint Solange was the patron of the traditional Province of Berry, of which Cher is a part. Solange was born to a poor but devout family in the town of Villemont, near Bourges, and consecrated her virginity at the age of seven; according to some, her mere presence cured the sick and exorcised devils. The son of the count of Poitiers was highly taken with the beauty and popularity of Solange and approached her when she was working on tending to her sheep, but she rejected his suit. He argued with her to no avail, and so he decided to abduct her. At night, he came and took Solange by force, but she struggled so violently ... morethat she fell from his horse while he was crossing a stream. Her abductor grew enraged and beheaded her with his sword; Solange's severed head invoked three times the Holy Name of Jesus, according to the fully developed legend. Like Saint Denis and other saints in Gaulish territories, Solange picked up her head in her own hands and walked with it as far as the church of Saint-Martin in the village of Saint-Martin-du-Crot(which now bears the name of Sainte-Solange, the only commune in France to bear this name) only dropping truly dead there WE ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING: KINDLY CHECK OUR OTHER LISTINGS!
