[edit] Some edits needed

I've removed these two bits here till we get some better edits for them Wetman 09:54, 5 August 2007 (UTC):

  • "French father, Italian mother". Can we get some specifics to replace these anachronisms?
  • "...a sign of his asceticism Saint Roch castrated himself and threw his testicle to the dog." This does need a source.
  • "San Rocco's Feast day is celebrated by the Potenza Lodge in Denver, Colorado the 3rd weekend in August." No doubt. We don't want to start a trivia list.

[edit] Rochuskirche

Rochuskirche is a church on Landstraßer Hauptstraße in Vienna and the adjacent Rochusgasse (Rochus lane) is named after it. I assume the saint for whom this church is named is Saint Roch, but I am not sure. Here is the German Wikipedia link: [1]. This should probably be added to the list of Saint Roch churches in Europe.--DerRichter (talk) 08:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
