‘The pure and undefiled fast has now come upon us and brings us to the celebration of the martyr’s miracles. Through the fast our souls are cleansed from filth and defilement and through the martyr’s miracles and feats we are emboldened to fight bravely against the passions.

The Church suffers with the soul and body of every Christian and takes care of everything proper to our nature and our good.
Pall Mall Gazette. 24 July 1885. p. 6. Great interest has, it is said, been caused at Folkestone and the neighborhood by the discovery in the parish church of what are believed to be the remains of St. Eanswith, patron saint of the church and the daughter of Eadbald, one of the Saxon Kings of Kent.
