the angels are concerned for the head of St Denis

St Denis was martyred in the 3rd century, by beheading, on the hill that is now Montmartre, in Paris. Afterward, it is written, he picked up his head and walked two miles, preaching a sermon, until he reached the site where now stands the Basilica St-Denis. He is the patron saint of Paris, and of headaches. His representation on the Western facade of Notre-Dame de Paris dates from the early 13th century.

Centre Island Beach, on Lake Ontario, on the Toronto Islands, is a short ferry ride and walk from Toronto's Harbourfront and -- unlike the beach at Hanlan's Point, where bathers have fought for the right to leave their swimsuits at home -- is an ideal family beach, frequented mostly by Toronto families.
