EUSTACE, RELIGIOUS
Eustace (Eustachius) was a devout Cistercian monk and special devotee of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. After his death, the words "Ave Maria" are said to have appeared in the mouth of the dead man in shimmering gold letters in the presence of the abbot and his religious brethren. Bucelin* and Henriquez* list him as "Blessed Eustace". (III. 686)
