My Favourite Mystic 19: Dyan Elliott on Elzear and Delphine


Listen Later

AJ Langley speaks to Dyan Elliott of Northwestern University about the spiritual marriage of the fourteenth-century couple Elzear (d. 1323) and Delphine (d. 1358). We talk about the intense bond of their relationship, their canonisation procedures (aided by nepotism), the risks of being very into poverty in the 14th century, and how some visions were not intended for an audience.
