Saint Gothic

Heather flowers are associated with many myths and superstitions, including:
Luck: White heather is considered to bring good luck, and is often given as a gift. Queen Victoria popularized the idea of white heather as a good luck charm by wearing it and giving it to friends. Brides in Scotland still include white heather in their bouquets on their wedding days.
Protection: Scottish warriors have worn white heather for generations to bring protection. The Chiefs of the Clan MacDonald would attach sprays of heather to their spears.
Fairies: Some believe that heather grows over the final resting places of fairies.
Battles: White heather is associated with battles and conflict. For example, Clan Ranald attributed a victory to wearing white heather in their bonnets in 1544.
Heather is also a symbol of resilience and endurance because of its ability to thrive in harsh conditions.

Sabbas the Goth
His hagiography states that he was a Goth by race and may have been a cantor or a reader to the religious community there.
Sometime after, the Gothic noble returned and asked if there were any Christians in the village. Sabbas stepped forward and proclaimed, "Let no-one swear an oath on my behalf. I am a Christian."
Basil of Caesarea requested that the military commander of Scythia Minor, Junius Soranus, send him the relics of saints and the Dacian priests sent the relics of Sabbas to him in Caesarea, Cappadocia, in 373 or 374 accompanied by a letter, the 'Epistle of the Church of God in Gothia to the Church of God located in Cappadocia and to all the Local Churches of the Holy Universal Church'. This letter was written in Greek, possibly by St Bretannio of Tomis.
In response, Basil replied with two letters to Bishop Ascholius where he extolled the virtues of Sabbas, calling him an 'athlete of Christ' and a 'martyr for the Truth'.

The Gothic prince Atharid sentenced Sabbas to death, ordering him to be thrown in the river Musæus, a tributary of the Danube. As he went with the soldiers he praised God the whole way, denouncing the pagan and idolatrous ways of his captors. The soldiers, considering him a fool or insane, contemplated just letting him go, reasoning that the prince would never find out. Sabbas urged them to do their duty, proclaiming "Why do you waste time talking nonsense and not do what you were told to? For I see what you cannot see: over there on the other side, standing in glory, the saints who have come to receive me". At this the soldiers pushed him under the river with a branch against his neck and drowned him.
Atharid (flourished in 4th century AD) was a Gothic chieftain under the Thervingian leader Athanaric. He was the son of Athanaric's sub-king Rothesteus, and played a leading role in the killing of the Christian saint Sabbas the Goth.
The concept of race in Gothic literature is complex and has evolved over time. While some Gothic works may perpetuate misunderstandings about Jews as a race, it is essential to recognize the diverse genealogical and geographic origins of this group. The Goths, an ancient people, had various origins, including Scythia (modern Romania and southern Russia). In Swedish nationalism, the Goths were considered direct ancestors of Swedes. Gothic literature often features debates about civilization, enlightenment, freedom, and human nature, with racial minorities playing a significant role..
The Goths were a Germanic people who played a major role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the emergence of medieval Europe..

They were first reported by Graeco-Roman authors in the 3rd century AD, living north of the Danube in what is now Ukraine, Moldova and Romania.
In the late 4th century, the lands of the Goths in present-day Ukraine were overwhelmed by a significant westward movement of Alans and Huns from the east. Large numbers of Goths subsequently concentrated upon the Roman border at the Lower Danube, seeking refuge inside the Roman Empire. After they entered the Empire, violence broke out, and Goth-led forces inflicted a devastating defeat upon the Romans at the Battle of Adrianople in 378.
Remnants of Gothic communities in Crimea, known as the Crimean Goths, established a culture that survived for more than a thousand years, although Goths would eventually cease to exist as a distinct people.
In the Gothic language, the Goths were called the *Gut-þiuda ('Gothic people') or *Gutans ('Goths'). The Proto-Germanic form of the Gothic name is recostructed as *Gutōz, but it is proposed that this co-existed with an n-stem variant *Gutaniz, attested in Gutones, gutani, or gutniskr. The form *Gutōz is etymologically identical to that of the Gutes from Gotland, Sweden, and closely related to that of the Geats, from mainland Sweden, whose name is reconstructed as *Gautōz.

He was the son of Athanaric's sub-king Rothesteus, and played a leading role in the killing of the Christian saint Sabbas the Goth.
The similarity of these Scandiavian names has long been noted by scholars in connection with the 6th-century book Getica (c. 551), by the historian Jordanes who wrote that the Goths originated on Scandza many centuries earlier, and moved to the Vistula delta. However, the accuracy of Jordanes' account for such early gothic history has been questioned by scholars. A people called the Gutones – possibly early Goths – are documented living near the lower Vistula River in current Poland in the 1st century, where they are associated with the archaeological Wielbark culture.
https://infogalactic.com/info/Sabbas_the_Goth
From the 2nd century, the Wielbark culture expanded southwards towards the Black Sea in what has been associated with Gothic migration, and by the late 3rd century it contributed to the formation of the Chernyakhov culture.By the 4th century at the latest, several Gothic groups were distinguishable, among whom the Thervingi and Greuthungi were the most powerful. During this time, Wulfila began the conversion of Goths to Christianity.

The Goths are classified as a Germanic people in modern scholarship.
According to Jordanes, the Goths originated on an island called Scandza (Scandinavia), from where they emigrated by sea to an area called Gothiscandza under their king Berig.
Götaland once consisted of petty kingdoms, and their inhabitants were called Gautar in Old Norse. However, the term mainly referred to the population of modern Västergötland. It is agreed that these were the same as the Geats, the people of the hero Beowulf in England's national epic, Beowulf..
Gothic Christianity refers to the Christian religion of the Goths and sometimes the Gepids, Vandals, and Burgundians, who may have used the translation of the Bible into the Gothic language and shared common doctrines and practices.
The Gothic tribes converted to Christianity sometime between 376 and 390 AD, around the time of the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Gothic Christianity is the earliest instance of the Christianization of a Germanic people, completed more than a century before the baptism of Frankish king Clovis I.
Getica claims the chief god of the Goths was Mars. Gothic paganism is a form of Germanic paganism.
