Talk:Ephigenia of Ethiopia

Spread of cult possibly connected to Portugeuse "Knights of Christ" / Knights Templar ?
I recently saw a documentary describing how the former Knights Templar order was reconstituted in Portugal as the Knights of Christ. The documentary showed a map of how the Portuguese order spread to certain parts of Africa, and especially to Brazil, as well as to certain parts of south-east Asia. It occurred to me that the spread of the cult of the folk saint Ephigenia of Ethiopia closely mirrored the spread of this Order. That is point 1. Point 2 is that because her Life first appears in the late crusading period (i.e. 13th century Golden Legend document), it really suggests that the origin of the cult (knowledge) of St. Ifigenia is possibly tied to the Templars, somehow. However I have not seen any studies to suggest or confirm this hypothesis. ΙΣΧΣΝΙΚΑ-888 (talk) 13:37, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
