| | Legend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Jacob de Voragine's Legenda Aurea or "The Golden Legend" comprises a series of vitae or instructive biographical narratives, tied to the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church. | | | By emphasizing the unrealistic character of "legends" of the saints, English-speaking Protestants were able to introduce a note of contrast to the "real" saints and martyrs of the Reformation, whose authentic narratives could be found in Foxe's Book of Martyrs. | | | The word "legend" appeared in English ca 1340, transmitted from medieval Latin through French. |

| | Urban legend - Psychology Central |
| | People apparently take urban legends to be true instead of recognizing them as tall tales or unsubstantiated rumors because of the way the story is passed on. | | | Many of these legends are presented as warnings or cautionary tales. | | | People frequently say such tales happened to a "friend of a friend"—so often, in fact, that FOAF has become a commonly used acronym to describe this sort of story. |

| | True, there were a select few who recognized the importance of legends - tales believed to be true or told as if true - but their research somehow failed to acquire the prestige accorded to the study of folktales proper. | | | For the first group, crop circle stories are just contemporary legends, for the latter the tales have a function as exempla to strengthen their spiritual New Age convictions. | | | Crop circle tales are certainly contemporary and are considered to be legends by many. |

| | Some urban legends actually have a basis in true events, such as the case of the young man shooting bullets into a large saguaro cactus and being killed when his gunfire severed the trunk, resulting in the falling plant crushing him. | | | Some of the stories have survived for a very long time, having evolved only slightly over the years, as in the case of the story of a woman killed by spiders nesting in her elaborate hairdo. | | | Brunvand has since published a series of similar books. |
