Saint Injuriosus and Saint Scholastica

Saint Gregory of Tours reports the following on this subject: "When the time of their trials was finished and the ch aste virgin a chaste vierge Wife of Saint Injuriosus, with whom she shared a vow of chastity. scended to Christ, her husband, after fulfilling the funeral duties, said while placing her in the tomb: 'I give thanks to you, Lord, our eternal God, that I return to your mercy this spotless treasure just as I received it from you.' But she, smiling at these words, replied: 'Why do you say what is not asked of you?' Shortly after burying her, he followed her himself to the tomb. As their graves had been placed against different walls, a completely new miracle occurred which proved the chastity of the two spouses. The people, having gone the next morning to their tombs, which they had left at a great distance from one another, found them reunited, no doubt because the tomb was not to separate the bodies of those whom heaven united. The inhabitants of the place have called them the 'Two Lovers' to this day."
