|Game Instructions = This will end this dream, and bring you [see rewards below]. An especially theological skeleton will increase the reward.

|Wiki Note = You need {{IL|Intensity of the Dream}} at least 7 to get a {{IL|Verse of Counter-Creed}} from this option. The identity of the supposed Saint varies based on your skeleton; see [[Present a vision of Saint Aegidius the Less, Patron of Snails#Saint Descriptions|below]] for details.

All of the names (except one) are the names of real Saints from pre-Fall Christianity. It is not clear if the vision of the Bohemian Sculptress is meant to reflect the original Saint, a new Neathy Saint with a plausible name, or an Infernal impostor.

=== Appellation ===
The Appellation depends on the {{Use|Skeleton: Torso Style|Type=Text}} used as a basis for the Skeleton. 
{{Variant table

Based on available data, the Patronage is determined by {{IL|Skeleton: Legs}}, with no influence from other limb types.
