Istra, particularly Saint Sergej (Sergius) from Črni Kal. The
veneration of these two saints spread widely in surrounding areas as
well, the former being much venerated in the Veneto, whilst even today
Trieste bears as its city crest the halberd of St Sergius. [From:

- "It is recorded in the legend of St.
Romualdo, that a short time before his death, he fell asleep beside
a found near his cell; and he dreamed, and in his dream he saw a
ladder like that which the patriarch Jacob beheld in his vision,
resting on the earth, and the top of it reaching to heaven; and he
saw the brethren of his Order ascending by twos and by threes, all
clothed in white. When Romualdo awoke from his dream, he changed the
habit of his monks from black to white, which they have ever since
worn in remembrance of his vision." — Mrs. Jameson (Anna),
