Talk:Paschal Baylón

"Pasch of the Holy Ghost"
The article on Pentecost makes no mention of this name for Pentecost. The article on the name Pascal has a link to a Catholic Encyclopedia article on Pascal Baylon which states what is stated here but gives no support for it, or for the statement that this is why he was named Pascal. I suggest that in the absence of any support this be removed. Pascal is a common enough name. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 13:57, 17 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree that it should be removed, but for a different reason. The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, Vol. II, page 2112, gives as the definition of "paschal" the following: "1. Of or pertaining to Passover. 2. Of or pertaining to Easter; used in Easter celebrations." Perhaps his parents were confused as to the meaning of the term.

 * Pascal, Pascual comes from Pascua, Latin for Easter. 50.75.66.18 (talk) 17:13, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Missing association with food
This article is missing his association with feeding the poor (and feeding them better than broth and leftovers). San Pascual (sometimes San Pasqual) is particularly venerated for this by Hispanic Catholics in North and Latin America, and often depicted with trays, bowls, or tables of food as quasi-regalia. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  13:39, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
