I'm reminded that the Christian "Saint Josaphat" was a mis-representation of the story of Buddha's life, and the name "Josaphat" a mispronunciation of "bodhisattva." 🙂 🙏

Bep ARPG prompt! Barlaam gathering wild ginger.
Fun fact - Barlaam means town elder / hermit and was the name of some obscure medieval monk embroiled in a flaming controversy over an extremely niche theological argument. Which is a level of pettiness that is 100% on brand for this guy.

Doing some story research and learned about Barlaam and Josephat.
Basically Josephat is a saint who’s story is Buddha’s origin story rebranded as a Christian legend.
Any other weird or stolen saints I should know off?

中世ヨーロッパの民衆文学で人気のあった題材に、インドの王子ヨサファト（Josaphat）と彼を改宗させた隠者バルラーム（Barlaam）の物語がある。キリスト教誕生の500年前を生きた釈迦の伝説が、中東を経由して欧州に伝わったものらしい。
