Thompson B251.2: Animals honor saint (cleric).

Mögliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

A hungry Bonifacius receives a fish from an eagle, which is a concrete helpful act toward the saint and can instantiate the broad “Animals honor saint (cleric)” entry. The text does not state that the bird acts out of reverence, so the relationship is possible rather than certain. The narrower B251.2.2 specifies fish performing races as a welcome, which is not this event; D2105.5 and D2106.1.1 specify a saint causing fish to emerge or waters to fill with fish, also absent.
