Saint Coprio
memorial
24 September
Profile
Our Saint for today was unceremoniously abandoned by his parents on a dung heap as an infant. He was found by a bunch of Greek Monks with a scatological sense of humor. They named him Coprio. The Greek word for Doody/Poo/Caca is kopria, hence his unfortunate name through life.
He became a monk and grew into a model of holiness, living his 90 years in the monastery, probably embarrassed to meet anyone, it being difficult to get past the initial introduction.
