Vitae Biographies

Patrick	Deceased: 385 Marital Status: single Occupation: priest Hometown: Kilpatrick, Scotland Survivor quote: "I'm not as think as you drunk I am" Luxury item: shamrock Feast day: March 17 Special skills: Drinking Guinness, finding four-leaf clovers, playing the bagpipes	St. Patrick is an interesting edition to Survivor III. This is because he has never before been to the desert. He was born in Kilpatrick, Scotland in 385. When he was 14, he was captured into slavery in Ireland. Because of a dream he had from god, he managed to escape and be reunited with his family in England at the age of 20. From there he became a bishop, went back to Ireland, and converted many of the kingdoms to Christianity. During this time, he used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity, not to catch leprechauns. In his free time, St. Patrick enjoys hunting for four-leaf clovers, chasing snakes, and drinking sacremental wine. He can still be found today in Irish Pubs (particularly on March 17) getting a bit tipsy with his kinfolk.
Mary of Egypt	Deceased: 431 Marital Status: single Occupation: hermitess Hometown: Egypt Survivor quote: "Don't look at me! I'm naked!" Luxury item: crust of bread Feast day: April 2 Special skills: walking on water, levitation	As a yound child, Mary of Egypt led a life fit for Las Vegas. Sex, drugs and rock and roll were a few of her favorite things. However, at the age of 17, her life was turned around by the Virgin mary. At the Virgin mary's encouragement, mary went into the desert and lived by herself for almost 50 years. We believe that this will make mary of Egypt a very strong competitor on Survivor III. In her free time, Mary enjoys resisting temptation, extreme fasting, and walking on water.

Margery Kempe	Deceased: Marital Status: married with 14 children Occupation: pilgram, visionary Hometown: Bishops Lynn Survivor quote: "Does anyone sniff have a kleenex?" Luxury item: relic of Moses's staff Feast day: doesn't have one Special skills: weeping with plentious tears, boisterous sobbings, and loud cryings	Margery Kempe is an unusual addition to our group of castaways. Although not quite a saint, she is not a typical lay worshipper either. After dictating her story to a scribe, she published The Book of Margery Kempe, and story of her life and visions. After a serious illness following the birth of one of her 14 children, Margery began to have intimate visions with Christ. Under Christ's dirtection, she made pilgrimages all over the world. She eventually became wedded to God. (Though some contestants have complained that this will give Margery an unfair edge in the competition, these allegations have yet to be proven conclusively.) In her free time, Margery enjoys extreme weeping, excessive crying, and boisterous sobbing, while reflecting on the Passion.
