One saint on his list:
St John the BaptistRead about another saint on Mullan's list.
In Oscar Wilde's Salome, "Iokanaan", as the saint is called, is a hairy, scary prophet who thrills Salome but rubs her mother Herodias up the wrong way. "Go, bid her rise up from the bed of her abominations, from the bed of her incestuousness, that she may hear the words of him who prepareth the way of the Lord, that she may repent her of her iniquities". Not surprisingly, Herod's wife decides to do in the saint.
