Was St. Denis the one who picked up his head and kissed himself on the lips after the beheading?

See, now you're just making these things up! Even the Mary-worshipers wouldn't believe that God gave a man a dog's head!

And to help the faithful venerate them even more conveniently, their twin skulls are preserved as relics at
1. the convent of the Clares in Madrid,
2. Bremen Cathedral
3. St Stephens's Cathedral in Vienna.

Other skulls said to be theirs have been discovered at Easter 1334 by Burchard Grelle, Prince-Archbishop of Bremen. He "personally 'miraculously' retrieved the relics of the holy physicians Cosmas and Damian, which were allegedly immured and forgotten in the quire of the Bremen Cathedral.
[...]
At least since 1413, another pair of skulls is stored in St Stephens's Cathedral in Vienna.

You do realize that St. Christopher has been desainted by the Catholics, do you not?
The RCC official position was there there was no clear historical evidence of his existence and since there were few canonizations with papal consent during the first millennium, many of those former saints were knocked off the list of official saints.

St. Patrick
when St Patrick was returning from Lough Derg, he stopped to drink from a well in Magherakeel – and that the water cured a toothache. Ever since, people have prayed to Patrick for his intervention.
St. Brigid
Nobody seems quite sure why St Brigid is thought of as the patron of printers and printing presses – but it may be to do with the fact that her holy existence was little-known until the the wider world became aware of her holiness when the printing press shared her work.
St. Fiacre
the patron saint of sexually transmitted diseases – a patronage apparently bestowed on him in recognition of his apparent aversion to women. Fiacre built a monastery in Meaux where he lived a hermit’s life, building a hospice hosting strangers but himself living in a cell.
St. Arnold of Soissons
Having been made the abbot of a Benedictine monastery, Arnold began to brew beer, and encouraged the local peasants to drink it in lieu of water, believing in its ‘gift of life’. As a result, he is known as the patron saint of beer and brewers.
St. Albertus Magnus
Albertus Magnus is known as the patron saint of the natural sciences (like physics or maths), having become a noted natural philosopher during his lifetime in the 13th century. He’s buried in the enormous cathedral in Cologne, Germany, having previously reserved as Bishop of Regensburg.
St. Germain
St Germain of Paris, an apparent nephew of St Patrick, is the patron saint of rape victims. When in Paris in the latter half of the sixth century, Germain stamped out pagan practices which included the sexual abuse of women.
St. Winifrede
Winefride, a Welsh noblewoman, was decapitated when she refused to entertain a suitor, Caradog. Her uncle, Saint Beuno, was able to reattach her head and bring her back to life. As a result of her bravery in shirking her suitor, she is known as the patron saint of avoiding unwanted advances.
St. Francis de Sales
Pope Pius XI proclaimed St Francis of Sales a patron of writers and journalists in 1923 because of the volume of books he wrote during his 16th Century lifetime. A fluent and elegant writer in French, Italian and Latin, Francis wrote a highly-regarded ‘Introduction to the Devout Life’ and a ‘Treatise on the Love of God’.

St. Cecilia
The patron saint of singing: Saint Cecilia (Latin: Sancta Caecilia) is the patron saint of musicians and Church music because as she was dying she sang to God.
St. Fiacre of Breuil
Born: 7th C.
Died: August 18, 670
Canonized: pre-Congregation
Feast Day: August 30
Patron Saint of: cab drivers, gardeners, taxi drivers
Abbot, born in Ireland about the end of the sixth century; died 18 August, 670. Having been ordained priest, he retired to a hermitage on the banks of the Nore of which the townland Kilfiachra, or Kilfera.
St. Collen
The patron saint of fairies
Monk in Wales, Brittany and Cornwall. Believed to have travelled to Rome. Hermit in a small cave near Glastonbury. Abbot of a monastery in Wales. The Welsh town of Llangollen (Collen's enclosure), Clwd is named for him, indicating that it formed around his hermitage and church.
Collen was at the right time and place to be a transitional figure in the folklore of the region. T here are tales of him slaying a Welsh giantess to save the people of Llangollen (the church there still has an image of him in this triumph), and of fighting a duel with a Saracen in front of the Pope. Stories have him being taken to the land of faerie, but always as a Christian, and always showing the power of God over the old ways.
Legend says that Collen was once invited to dine with the King of the Fairies; some say he was asked by a man, some say by a fairy, and some say by a talking peacock; I cannot say. The saint declined three times, but finally accepted. Though the king appeared to live in an enormous castle, wealthy and fair, surrounded by courtiers and servants, and seated before a table groaning under the weight of good eatings. Collen, however, knew him for the lying spirit he was. The saint reminded the king of the fate of the Godless, then sprinkled holy water in all directions; in an instant there was nothing left but an angry, demonic bird, flying away from the scene.
Another version has it that Collen, while he lived as a hermit near Glastonbury, was summoned to settle the eternal May Day struggle of Gwynn ap Nudd, Lord of the Underworld, with Gwyther, Lord of Summer, for the hand of the fair Creiddylad, the Maiden of Spring. Collen ordained that the quarrel would be resolved on Doomsday, and not before. Then with a sprinkle of holy water, the faerie folk and fortress disappeared.
Born
c.600 in Wales
Pope St. Damascus I
The patron saint of archeologists
Raised in a pious family; his father was a priest in Rome, and Damasus served for a time as deacon in his father's church, Saint Laurence. Priest. Assistant to Pope Liberius. Chosen 37th pope in a disputed election in which a minority chose the anti-pope Ursinus. The two reigned simultaneously in Rome which eventually led to violence between their supporters and Damasus's false accusation of a crime.
His pontificate suffered from the rise of Arianism, and from several schisms including break-away groups in Antioch, Constantinople, Sardinia, and Rome. However, it was during Damasus's reign that Christianity was declared the religion of the Roman state. He enforced the 370 edict of Emperor Valentinian controlling gifts to prelates, and opposed Arianism and Apollinarianism. He supported the 374 council of Rome which decreed the valid books of the Bible, and the Grand Council of Constantinople in 381 which condemned Arianism.
Patron of his secretary, Saint Jerome, commissioning him to make the translation of scripture now known as the Vulgate. Damasus restored catacombs, shrines, and the tombs of martyrs, and wrote poetry and metrical inscriptions about and dedicated to martyrs. They state that he would like to be buried in the catacombs with the early martyrs, but that the presence of one of his lowly status would profane such an august place. Ten of his letters, personal and pontifical, have survived.
Born
c.306 in Rome, Italy; his family were Spanish in orgin
Papal Ascension
366
Died
11 December 384 in Rome, Italy of natural causes
St. Alamo
the patron saint of claustrophobia
St. Sebastian
the patron saint of racquetball
Son of a wealthy Roman family. Educated in Milan. Officer of the Imperial Roman army, and captain of the guard. Favorite of Diocletian. During Diocletian’s persecution of the Christians, Sebastian visited them in prison, bringing supplies and comfort. Reported to have healed the wife of a brother soldier by making the Sign of the Cross over her. Converted soldiers and a governor to Christianity.
Charged as a Christian, Sebastian was tied to a tree, shot with arrows, and left for dead. He survived, and with the help of Saint
St. Murgen
The patron saint of mermaids
In the sixth century, a Siren was caught and baptized in northern Wales and in certain old calendars took her place as a saint under the name Murgen.
Murgen began life as a girl named Liban, whose background is lost in a muddle of folkloric confusion. She seems to have been either of mortal or of Daoine Sidhe parentage, and swept into the sea in the year 90 with her dog, who was transformed into an otter. At some point during her first year underwater, she was turned into a merrow or muirruhgach, the Gaelic word for siren or mermaid. She spent three hundred years with the tail of a salmon, swimming the Irish sea with her pet otter.
Around 390 (or possibly 558), a ship destined for Rome took her in from the seas, having heard her angelic singing. The cleric Beoc, a vicar of Bishop St. Comgall of Bangor, was on board, and she pleaded him to take her ashore at Inver Ollarba up the coast. On his return from Rome, after reporting to Pope Gregory of Comgall's deeds in office, he fulfilled his promise and Liban was taken ashore in a boat half-filled with water by another fellow, Beorn.
Instantly, a dispute started over who had authority over her with Beoc, Beorn and St. Comgall all pressing their case. It fell to Beoc after they placed her in a tank of water on a chariot and the chariot stopped in front of Beoc's parish church. There, she was given the choice of being baptized, after which she would die immediately and go to heaven, or living another three hundred years--the number she had spent as a mermaid--and then going on to paradise. She chose the first, was baptized by St. Comgall with the name of Murgen, or, "sea-born," and died in the odor of sanctity. Of course, this was all in the days before canonizations became the exclusive and infallible province of Rome. That being said, the Teo-da-Beoc, or, church of Beoc, was the site of many miracles wrought in her name, and paintings of this singular saint still remain there to this day.

St. Clare of Assisi
the patron saint of television.
Toward the end of her life (in 1253), when she was too ill to attend Mass, an image of the liturgy would display on the wall of her cell.
St. Joseph of Cupertino
an Italian saint. He was said to have been remarkably unclever, but prone to miraculous levitation and intense ecstatic visions that left him gaping. He was canonized in the year 1767.
As a child, Joseph was remarkably slow witted. He suffered from painful ulcers during his childhood, but after a hermit applied oil from the lamp burning before a picture of Our Lady of Grace, Joseph was completely cured from his painful ulcers. He was also said to have had a violent temper.
When he was 17, Joseph attempted to join the Friars Minor Conventuals, but his lack of education prevented him from gaining admittance. He was soon after admitted as a Capuchin, but removed from the order shortly thereafter when his constant fits of ecstasy proved him unsuitable. Eventually, in his early twenties, he was admitted into a Franciscan friary near Cupertino. He had a learning disability, and legend has it that he would study intently for one small section of the material, because that was all he was able to do, and prayed that the material he studied would be what he was tested on. For example, one time when the friar administered a test, he happened to ask the one question Joseph had prepared for. When he was a candidate for deacon, the bishop at random asked Joseph to expound on the text "Blessed is the womb that bore thee." He did well. Thus he was ordained deacon. When it was a question of the priesthood, the first candidates did so well that the remainder of the candidates, Joseph among them, were passed without examination and Joseph was ordained a priest in 1628.
On October 4, 1630, the town of Cupertino held a procession on the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi. Joseph was assisting in the procession when he suddenly soared into the sky, where he remained hovering over the crowd. When he descended and realized what had happened, he became so embarrassed that he fled to his mother's house and hid. This was the first of many flights, which soon earned him the nickname "The Flying Saint." His flights continued and came with increasing frequency. On hearing the names of Jesus or Mary, the singing of hymns, during the feast of St. Francis, or while praying at Mass, he would go into dazed state and soar into the air, remaining there until a superior commanded him under obedience to revive. Joseph's most famous flight allegedly occurred during a papal audience before Pope Urban VIII. When he bent down to kiss the Pope's feet, he was suddenly filled with reverence for Christ's Vicar on earth, and was lifted up into the air. Only when the Minister General of the Order, who was part of the audience, ordered him down was Joseph able to return to the floor. J oseph gave off a sweet smell because he was pure. Joseph could also smell the bad odor of a sinful person. When they would come, sometimes he would tell them that they stank and that they should go wash themselves. By this, he meant for them to go to confession.
Among other paranormal events associated with Joseph, he is said to have possessed the gift of healing. Legend holds he once cured a girl who was suffering from a severe case of measles. Another story holds that an entire community suffering from a drought asked Joseph to pray for rain, which he did with success. He also dedicated himself to improving the spiritual lives of his fellow friars.
Some superiors would scold Joseph for not accepting money and gifts offered to him for curing people, especially when they were members of the nobility. Perhaps the most difficult time came when Joseph was the subject of an investigation by the Inquisition at Naples. Msgr. Joseph Palamolla accused Joseph of attracting undue attention with his "flights" and claiming to perform miracles. On October 21, 1638, Joseph was summoned to appear before the Inquisition and, when he arrived, he was detained for several weeks. Joseph was eventually released when the judges found no fault with him.
After being cleared by the Inquisition, Joseph was sent to the Sacro Convento in Assisi. Legend states he did not even complain when a brother-cook neglected to bring him any food to his room for two days.
On August 10, 1663, Joseph became ill with a fever, but the experience filled him with joy. He experienced ecstasies and flights during his last mass which was on the Feast of the Assumption.
St. Hemma of Gurk
lived in the 11th-12th centuries in Gurk, Carinthia, Austria, and is known as the "Mother of Carinthia"
One of her miracles is that she got pregnant after 10 years of marriage and praying for a child, and decided to do a pilgrimage (barefoot and in pilgrim's robes -- mind you, she was a countess) to three southern Austrian pilgrimage sites dedicated to the Virgin Mary. She visited the first two (which are still there), but as she approached the third (which no longer exists, and I think the location is now in Slovenia), she got sicker and sicker, walking for days in pouring rain. She finally got to the foot of the hill she would have to walk up to get to the third chapel. She no longer had the strength, but as she fell down, she realized she was right in front of the chapel. The rain had caused a landslide that made the chapel slide down to meet her. She crawled inside, embraced the statue of the Virgin Mary, lay there for three days, and was finally cured. (The rest of the story: She gave birth to that child, a son, and to a second son, but they and her husband were killed in wars, so she became a nun late in life.)
St. Anne
the patron saint of single women
