Looking deeper into this, it seems to be based on a wet dream that a monk had about the Virgin Mary. Which is pretty awesome that it became one of the reasons he got sainted.

If there's an after life, I really hope the other saints give him mad shit about this. And like, he still can't make eye contact with Mary, even though it's been centuries.

I looked even deeper into this, and it turns out that the monk had the wet dream because the other monks did a giant bukkake on his face while he was sleeping. Boy, the pranks those brothers used to pull!
