Cardinal Renato Martino, who authored the Vatican decree, was quoted as saying, "St. Christopher was just too busy and he was letting too many people slip through the cracks.

Question by player Leeana

Answer: Manoah

The Lord warned Samson's parents not to give Samson anything that came from the grapevine, but rather, to raise him as a Nazarite. His hair was never to be cut, he was never to touch a dead body, and he was never to eat unclean (non-kosher) food. Thus, the Lord gave Samson great strength, which Samson used to fight Israel's enemies (particularly the Philistines).

Question by player petroa

Answer: a covered walkway alongside a building

The English word cloister derives from the Latin word "claustrum", meaning enclosure. Architecturally, it refers to a walkway constructed on the side of a building, usually with a roof held up by arches or colonnades. Where four such walkways enclose an area, the central area is called a garth. Because of the association of cloisters with monastic structures, the term itself has come to mean monastic, as in "cloistered nuns", meaning those set apart from the secular world.

The word "claustrophobia" shares this etymology.
