Montgomery, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Denver. Among the many tales told of the lives of medieval saints, a fascinating phenomenon emerges. Cephalophory is the ability of a dead saint to carry their own severed head or ask another to pick up the body part and carry it to a chosen site for burial. This kind of narrative was common in medieval saints’ cults and served to authenticate relics, demonstrate their power, and establish their presence at the particular site.
