On this very special episode, we learn about the assumption, body and soul, of The Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven and hear why she threw her holy girdle down to the ground on her way up. We speculate on where that sacred relic now resides and discuss how Saint Mary may have been much more than the nuns from catholic school would have led us to believe. We also feature an interview with a very special guest, and Saint in her own right, co-host Christian O'Toole's own blessed mother Frances O'Toole, and hear how the Virgin Mary may have miraculously appeared to her in the form of lightning after the death of her first-born son. We also learn how brave boy Saint Tarcisius died defending the eucharist when he was only 12 and how the tears of Saint Lawrence are connected to the Perseid meteor shower.
