Saint of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica
Bardesanes appears in all versions of the Saints of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica in Liber XV, published during Aleister Crowley's lifetime. Bardesanes is on the short list in all versions except the first (International), and is therefore a name celebrated all at performances unless one is specifically using the historical Saints list from the International version.
