Saint Pelagia
Pelagia ( grc-gre, Πελαγία), distinguished as Pelagia of Antioch, Pelagia the Penitent, and Pelagia the Harlot, was a Christian saint and hermit in the 4th or 5th century. Her feast day was celebrated on 8 October, originally in common with Saints Pelagia the Virgin and Pelagia of Tarsus. Pelagia died as a result of extreme asceticism, which had emaciated her to the point she could no longer be recognized. According to Orthodox tradition, she was buried in her cell. Upon the discovery that the renowned monk had been a woman, the holy fathers tried to keep it a secret, but the gossip spread and her relics drew pilgrims from as far off as Jericho and the Jordan valley. Legend Pelagia's story is attributed to James or Jacob ( la, Jacobus), deacon of the church of Heliopolis (modern Baalbek). He states that Margarita was the "foremost actress" and a prominent harlot in Antioch. During one of the city's church councils, she passed by on a donkey surrounded by her entoura ...

Pelagia Noctiluca
''Pelagia noctiluca'' is a jellyfish in the family Pelagiidae and the only currently recognized species in the genus ''Pelagia''. It is typically known in English as the mauve stinger, but other common names are purple-striped jelly (causing potential confusion with ''Chrysaora colorata''), purple stinger, purple people eater, purple jellyfish, luminous jellyfish and night-light jellyfish. In Greek, ''pelagia'' means "(she) of the sea", from ''pelagos'' "sea, open sea"; in Latin ''noctiluca'' is the combining form of ''nox'', "night"", and ''lux'', "light"; thus, ''Pelagia noctiluca'' can be described as a marine organism with the ability to glow in the dark (bioluminescence). It is found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate seas, although it is suspected that records outside the North Atlantic region, which includes the Mediterranean and Gulf of Mexico, represent closely related but currently unrecognized species. A fairly small and variably coloured species, both its tentac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chrysaora Colorata
''Chrysaora colorata'' (Russell), commonly known as the purple-striped jelly, is a species of jellyfish that exists primarily off the coast of California from Bodega Bay to San Diego. The bell (body) of the jellyfish is up to in diameter, typically with a radial pattern of stripes. The tentacles vary with the age of the individual, consisting typically of eight marginal long dark arms, and four central frilly oral arms. It is closely studied by scientists due to not much being known about their eating habits. Often young Cancer (genus), ''Cancer'' crabs make home in the jellyfish and eat the parasitic amphipods that feed on and damage the jellyfish. The chrysaora colorata are more active in a lively current which makes it easier for them to move to capture their prey. Description The purple striped jelly is also known as the purple-striped sea nettle. When it is extremely young, it has a pinkish color and its tentacles are long and dark maroon. At the adult stage the dark mar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mawia Benovici
''Mawia'' is a genus of jellyfish in the family Pelagiidae. It is a Monotypic taxon, monotypic genus with the sole species ''Mawia benovici''. The team who discovered this jellyfish named it ''benovici'' after a late colleague, Adam Benovic. Although described based on specimens from the Adriatic Sea, a part of the Mediterranean, it was speculated that these might be transplants (via ballast water) rather than a part of its natural range. A later study found specimens in Senegal, indicating that its natural range possibly is the Atlantic Ocean off West Africa.
