Untitled

I remember visiting a castle in France called Chateau de Menthon. According to the information given on the tour St. Bernard grew up there and at one point in his life threw himself from one of the windows (the tour was in french so I missed a bit, I think he was greif struck for some reason). He was, in the story, caught by two angels and thus decided to serve god. There was a carved wooden mantle depicting this story in the library of the castle. I was suprised to see that Chateau de Menthon is not mentioned anywhere on wikipedia, nor is this interesting, no doubt fictional, account of Bernards insperation for joining the clergy. I will look for a better referance that my own memory.--Matt D 20:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nobel Peace Prize??

Article states that "Bernard of Menthon was posthumously awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1956 [1]". 1. Nobel Prizes cannot be awarded posthumously since 1974. The Nobel Prize has only been awarded posthumously twice: to Dag Hammarskjöld (Nobel Peace Prize 1961) and Erik Axel Karlfeldt (Nobel Prize in Literature 1931). Considering Bernard of Menthon died in 1081, he missed the deadline by 875 years. ^[1] 2. There was no Nobel Prize awarded in 1956 ^[2]. 3. Links in the reference section are broken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by N0TABENE (talk • contribs) 04:25, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion between the legend (15th century) and the sources

Hello, the current presentation highlights the legend more than the sources. (DE FR IT) If Bernard comes from a noble family, nothing proves (sources) that he comes from the family of Menthon. B-noa (talk) 10:52, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Orthodox veneration?

The infobox on the article states Bernard of Menthon is venerated by the eastern orthodox church. Given he was born only thirty-four years before the Great Schism, died just shy of thirty years after said schism, and was canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church approximately six hundred years after the schism, what is the evidence that he is venerated by the eastern orthodox church?

I think this same error might also be present on some other articles for western saints being claimed to be venerated as eastern orthodox saints, but I'm not entirely sure as I haven't looked into it greatly.

Does anyone have any insight on this?
