Gregory goes apocryphal

APOCRYPHICITY: Apocryphal Traditions in Gregory of Tours’ Glory of the Martyrs. Tony Burke gives us a précis of his forthcoming article on apocryphal traditions in one of the work of the sixth-century historian Gregory of Tours. Gregory has stories about the apostles, Mary the mother of Jesus, and a woman who collected some of John the Baptist's blood as a holy relic.
