Sure, I have many copies of his letters. I am actually named for my uncle Rick and not really named after St. Eric now that I think about it. Eric is also a form of Henry as well.

Now you are telling us that St Pavel wrote letters to you  . Also you now think you are called Henry after your great aunty Doris no doubt (the one second from the left in photos with the beard). You got anything in the Ginko drink we need to know about like gin (aka 'aunties ruin'. ICXC NIKA

Actually I did have a great aunt Doris! Nope, St. Paul wrote letters for everyone! I don't take ginkgo, it appears that Gordo does. The last herbal formula I took was for a stuffy nose -takes it away very fast too! (No alcohol in it though.) Henry is another form of Eric as the name in Spanish is Enrique for both names! :p

From St Google the Grand Librarian. ERIC Gender: Masculine Usage: English, French Pronounced: ER-ik (English), er-EEK (French) [key] From the Old Norse name Eir�kr, derived from ei "ever" and r�kr "ruler". Danish invaders first brought the name to England. A famous bearer was Eir�kr inn Rauda (Eric the Red in English), a 10th-century navigator and explorer who discovered Greenland. This was also the name of kings of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. or The boy's name Eric is pronounced AIR-ik. It is of Scandinavian and Old Norse origin, and its meaning is "complete ruler." The original form is Erik, which has been borne by nine Danish kings. Scandinavian legend relates that the Viking sea rover Ericson (son of Eric the Red) landed on the shores of America 500 years before Christopher Columbus. The name was not widely used among English-speaking people until 19th-century British fiction writers Frederic Farrar (in "Eric", or "Little by Little") and H. Rider Haggard (in "Eric Brighteyes") used it in popular literature. Eriq is the French spelling; Erich is a popular German form. Author Erich Segal; musician Eric Clapton; skater Eric Heiden; actors Eriq La Salle, Eric McCormack. Eric has 19 variant forms: Aeric, Aerick, Aerric, Aerrick, Aerricko, Aric, Arreck, Arric, Arrick, Erek, Erich, Erick, Erik, Eriq, Erix, Errick, Eryk, Rick and Rikky. For more information, see also the related name Frederick. Search for names similar to Eric starting with Er-, Eri-, Eric- or ending with -ic, -ric, -eric. Eric is a very popular male first name, ranking 33 out of 1219 for males of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census. Eric is a rather uncommon surname, ranking 64275 out of 88799 for people of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census. ICXC NIKA

NIKA Dr Eric, Christ is Risen! I believe you are being toyed with. I think what our good friend from down under is implying is there more than one Saint Paul (Pavel) and you are not thinking of the right one.

There you are Dr Eric. I did sort of hint that you might just be off the track just a wee bit. On the other hand you could be right, or you could be wrong. A sample of St Pavels out there in heaven. Alexander, Paul & John, Pats.Of Const.: August 30 Martyrs Paul, Thea & Oulalentine: July 18 Martyrs Peter, Dionysius & Paul: May 18 New Martyrs Demetrius and Paul: May 22 Martyrs Lucillian and Paul: June 3 Paul of Xeropatamos: July 28 Martyrs Paul and Julianna: March 4 Paul of Thebes: January 15 Paul the Confessor: March 8 Paul the (has 2 feast dates incl 8 Mar) Paul the Confessor: November 6 Paul the Physician of Corinth: June 28 Paul the Simple: March 7 Paul of Neo-Caesarea: December 23 Paul, Bishop of Corinth: March 27 Apostles Peter and Paul: June 29 Sebastiana, Disciple of Paul: September 16 This does not include the ones on the Roman, Syrian, Armenian, Coptic or Church of the East calendars ICXC NIKA

Christ is Risen!
Looks like we are going to have play "Saint Pavel" roulette. It looks like a challenge has been laid down. Good reading ahead I see.
In the Risen Christ,
Father Anthony+

(I haven't had this much fun watching a thread in a long time). [/b]This is why the internet can be a confusing medium. I know that there is more that one St. Paul (Pavel, Paolo, etc...) but I thought I'd start with the original one...

Yes, "someone" did add them to the list. That would be the local bishop. The local people venerated that person as a saint, miracles were noted, and the bishop added the name to the list. Later, Rome would also add those names to its official list called the "Canon", hence canonization. There was no ceremony. Todays process goes back to about the 16th century.
The same with the Old Testament Saints. I believe that their feast days were assigned when a church was dedicated to them. (Moses the Lawgiver's feast day is Sept. 4th.)
