Life
Bernard joined the Cistercians in 1177.[1] He was sent with a group of other monks to establish a monastery at Grandassilva in Estremadura, which effort failed when the community was devastated by the plague.
He is Patron saint of Candeleda, Spain, and is invoked against rabies.[1]
Notes
gollark: i.e.```fsharplet potato = 5let isFive = match potato with | 5 -> true | _ -> false```is nicer than the equivalent nonsense of```javascriptconst potato = 5;let isFive;switch (potato) {case 5: isFive = true; break:default: isFive = false;}```
gollark: They're much more composable.
gollark: I prefer expressions over statements.
gollark: There are reliability and maintainability impacts.
gollark: Yes.
