There is another important feature of the middle ages -- saints. Vladimir Lefebvre rightly wrote that if he believes himself to be Holy, then he cannot be Holy. Another paradoxical feature of symbolization Holiness draws attention P. Bitsilli: "Anyone familiar with the hagiographic literature of the middle ages, knows what an insignificant role in the lives of the saints -- for least until the period of excitement the historic understanding under the influence mysticism -- plays for the hagiographers, the problem of achieving the Holy of Holiness. Holy or just stands in the historical field already "all ready" to the saints, or same muffled mentions of his sudden "conversion". Partly true but this a consequence of the conditions of the knowledge of the Holy: he is identified only since when he begins to act like a Saint; but we know that the absence of a material rarely seen by hagiographers as obstacle: at worst
