I have just found out that St Elvis was real and has a parish named after him,
as witness this photo:

[Opsa]

So, we're saying here that Elvis is a living saint?

The First Church of Jesus Christ, Elvis

[Sibling DavidH]

No, seemingly he was a 5th or 6th century saint who baptised St Patrick.  His name also has many other weird forms - a Welsh one, Eilw, is also on that sign.

[Opsa]

...but was he the Best Welsh Elvis?

[Sibling DavidH]

   We shall never know: he's a bit too dead to enter.

[Opsa]

One can never be too dead to impersonate Elvis.

Aaaand someone has apparently made a wine in honour of him:




Seriously, how much more Tim Powers can you get? 

[Opsa]

Great, all we need is Elvis wafers and we can take Elvis communion. 

[Sibling DavidH]

Do you think these will do?

[Opsa]

Hmmmm... the peanut butter factor certainly seems appropriate.

There's also an Elvis wafer for sale on EBay, if you don't mind also eating the words "Happy 40th Mum".

[Sibling DavidH]

Maybe those words might invalidate the sacramental properties of the holy wafer? 

[Opsa]

Perhaps we could say they were referring to the Holy Mum?

Perhaps they refer to his mum.

Hmmmm, I do seem to recollect The King  being nicer to his mum (at least in public) than The Prince of Peace  was to his...
