Hippolytus of Rome was the most important 3rd-century theologian in the Christian Church in Rome, where he was probably
born. He opposed the Roman bishops who softened the penitential system to accommodate the large number of new pagan
converts. However, he was very probably reconciled to the Church when he died as a martyr.
Starting in the 4th century, various legends arose about him, identifying him as a priest of the Novatianist schism or
as a soldier converted by Saint Lawrence. He has also been confused with another martyr of the same name.Ironically, it
is Pius IV who identifies him as "Saint Hippolytus, Bishop of Pontus" who was martyred in the reign of Alexander Severus
through his inscription on a statue found at the Church of St. Lawrence in Rome and kept at the Vatican as photographed
and published in Brunsen.
Jadwiga often prayed before a large black crucifix hanging in the north aisle of Wawel Cathedral. During one of these
prayers, the Christ on the cross is said to have spoken to her. The crucifix, "Saint Jadwiga's cross," is still there,
with her relics beneath it. Because of this event, she is considered a medieval mystic.
According to another legend, Jadwiga took a piece of jewelry from her foot and gave it to a poor stonemason who had
begged for her help. When the king left, he noticed her footprint in the plaster floor of his workplace, even though the
plaster had already hardened before her visit. The supposed footprint, known as "Jadwiga's foot", can still be seen in
one of Krakw's churches.
In yet another legend, Jadwiga was taking part in a Corpus Christi Day procession when a coppersmith's son drowned by
falling into a river. Jadwiga threw her mantle over the boy's body, and he regained life.
On 8 June 1979 Pope John Paul II prayed at her sarcophagus; and the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline
of the Sacraments officially affirmed her beatification on 8 August 1986. The Pope went on to canonize Jadwiga in Krakw
on 8 June 1997.soners.
