Saint Trigo
Patron of Oblique Triangles.
A former mathematician, Saint Trigo beseeched the Trinity for a
miracle, or as he put it, "a sine or a cosine." He received a
vision of oblique triangles, took a vow of silence, and dedicated the
rest of his life to discovering the "right angle" to approach
God. Some have speculated that Saint Trigo's quietude inspired
the novelist Stephen White to write the following phrase in his book
Harm's Way:
"oblique triangles of muted illumination"
Though some considered Saint Trigo's
writings "obtuse" or "veering off on wild tangents," his dedication to
the Trinity had no parallel.
