Iesus Christi is a land of thousands of legends, many dating back to the pre-Christian kings and Emperors. Still the vast majority of legends come from the Christian era.

The Legends of Saint Fenris and Saint Finbarr

The Mountain Saint Finbarr fasted forty days and nights during Lent on the mountain Maria Victor. He was tempted by demons and black ravens. In the end, an angel came and granted him a reward for his endurance. He asked that Iesus Christi remain Christian until the end of time; an ocean drown the country one year before the day of Judgment so that they would be spared the horrors of the Last Day; that a pagan king would never take the throne of Iesus; and finally that he and Saint Fenris be allowed to help judge the Iesians on Judgment Day.

The Druid The high druid Oisían journeyed to the immortal world of Tíranan’ Óg (The Country of the Young) with the beautiful, golden-haired goddess Sira. She promised him castles, gold and beautiful clothes of silk and fur and a land of beauty and perpetual youth with no winter, frost, cold, or snow. Yet after three hundred year, Oisían desired to return to home.

On arriving home, Oisían found the land had changed. On the shore he meet two men, both old and grey who called for him to come ashore. They cried out for Oisian to come hear the truth. Oisían strode ashore, but as his feet touched the sand of the land now known as Iesus Christi, he quickly aged into an elderly man and then crumbled into dust.

The Snake Saint Fenris is said to have been saved by snakes who came to his protection when he was attacked by druid summoned wolves. Snakes also killed the druid Ha-ar - turning on him when he attempted to send them to kill Saint Finbarr. Snakes remain the national symbol in Iesus Christi.

The Bless Virgin Mary appears Saint Saint Finbarr was directed by the angelic voice of Mary onto the hill of Mana-clef and experienced the first of a series of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin. The messages Mary given were requests for prayer, sacrifice, abandonment to God and the promise never to forget the people of Iesus Christi. She also gave the Saint a series of prophecies that remain widely believed even today.

Monster of the deep Saint Finbarr came across a group of sailors who were burying a man killed by a sea monster. At once Saint Finbarr walked to the edged of the sea and summoned the creature to the shore saying "In the name of he who created you, I call you forth"", he then blessed the Creature with the sign of the Cross and commanded he never injure another soul again.

The Child Princess of Christ

Philomena was a Princess, her Father was the Emperor of the south. Philomena at the age of 13 heard the call of Christ and desired to convert to the new faith. So enraged was her father, he ordered her to be killed. She was first meant to be killed by archers, but the arrows returned and struck down the bowmen. She was then ordered drowned with an anchor tied about her neck, but the rope was rent by angels and Philomena was returned to dry land unharmed. She was finally decapitated when meekly layed her head upon the axemans chopping block saying "What greater happyness than to die for my true Lord?" It is said her soul is sent to Children who suffer.

The Tree of life

An angel once blessed a cedar because it sheltered him from a great storm. The angel prayed it would bear a fruit which would bless all people,a fruit that would never sour, so God answered the prayer by allowing the cedar to be used as the Saviour's cross.

The Cursed tree

The weeping willow bears a curse, as it was the tree that Judas hanged himself, being planted by the devil in order to lure people to suicide by the peculiar restful swinging of its branches. The Willow is believed to weep because its branches were used to scourge Christ.

Satanic Heir

When the land was still still corrupted by witchcraft and dark nercromancy,. Vampires, ghouls all forms of devilish creatures haunted the night. Before the light of Christ had conquered the night here, a child was born - a child of cursed blood. The child was plucked from his mothers arms and taken into the stormy night by the midwife even as his mother was sent to hell by the townsfolk. The midwife took the infant deep into the snowy forest. There, under a giant oak she placed the child in the snow, blessed him and left, leaving the child to the mercy of death and God. Still, other forces were at work that snowy night. Black cowled cultists allied with pagan gods roamed and carried out their bizarre rituals . A party of such villains found the child, a frozen bundle which screamed hate at God. The cultists took the child as a gift from their dark father, knowing within their dark bitter hearts he was something special. In their unholy ceremony they named the child Radcik and placed him under the protection of the legions of hell. Even today. the evil of the Child is said to still live on......

The Good knight

Simon son of Andrew returned from the crusades a changed man. He left his family estate a arrogant young knight, he cared only for glory, honour and women. The crusade had been an excuse for him to win personal honour and nothing more. The crusade changed his heart. He saw and did what no man could forget. He swore a oath upon the majestic cross that he would live the remainder of his days as a true Christian and never abandon the word of God again. He started his long jorney home, but everywhere he travelled he saw the cruel hand of evil pulling the strings in the background, and he was sorely troubled "how could he fight but a small portion of this evil". For a long while he considered simply hiring a boat and setting sail or becoming a hermit, but in his heart he remembered his vow and he he remembered how Christ had suffered. God had granted him a strong sword arm and he should make the best use of it. Thus, the Good Knight started his many acts of courage for the sake of the people of God.

Behold the Lamb of God

In 1520 Father Peter of Wolfeon, was celebrating Mass at the Church of Holy name. He had been having serious doubts about the reality of Christ's presence in the consecration. As he completed the words of Consecration blood started to seep from the Consecrated Host and run down over his hands onto the altar and the altar linen. As the drops of blood fall, the earth rocked and thunder rolled. Many swore they heard the words "behold my son" and "Forever faithful".
