All Saint's Day features infamous saints in new guises. Jesus has returned as an African-American (cross between Jimi Hendrix and a Navajo medicine man). Magic Mary, (Magdalene), and The Virgin (Virgin Mary) run healing arts clinics. Saint Francesco of Assisi and Saint Jeanne D'Arc cannot consummate their marriage. Saint Catherine of Alexandria looks for a suitable immortal mate and The Teresas (Teresa of Lisieux and Teresa of Avila) made a grave error returning as Siamese cats. Now they're haunted by two snippety Jack Russell terriers that nip at their heels while testing the former nuns' levitation skills.
