Lentorama 2006 Saint of the Day: St. Joseph of Arimathea

You give up your tomb for Jesus and make sure He's buried in a fitting manner, and what do you get? Overshadowed by a guy who is celebrated with green beer and Ronan Tynan-wannabes singing "Danny Boy" over and over.

He does also get a lot of play in medievel legend, from being Mary Magdalen's uncle to being the first keeper of the Holy Grail to bringing Christianity to the British Isles. Expect him to feature prominently in The DaVinci Code II: Messianic Boogaloo.
