Sicilian or Saxon

This says St Vitus came from Sicily while Wenceslas I, Duke of Bohemia says the Prauge cathedral was named after a Saxon saint --Henrygb 13:37, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Band??

There is also a Doom-Metal band with the name Saint Vitus, but this is the only page where I'm redirected if I enter Saint Vitus in search. Doesn't any insider want to document the band?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.168.136 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 11 September 2006

The article on the group is at Saint Vitus (band). I’ll add a link to it from this article. —Ian Spackman 14:19, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In fact there already is one. —Ian Spackman 14:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is "St. Vitus Dance"?

The Saint Vitus Dance link points to Chorea...this page seems to imply epilepsy? Afabbro 19:58, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above metioned redirect is correct. Chorea (disease) may in some cases cause patients experiencing the symptom to sway uncontrolably back and forth, particularly when standing. It may resemble some kind of uncoordinated dance, which, I believe, originated the name "St. Vitus dance". --Medic (Lindblad) (talk) 21:01, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
