St. Bruno's Church
Description
An austere, Lutheran church with a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
History
Dedicated to the 20th century Saint Bruno, the patron saint of pipe-smokers, this church stands on the site of the home of Bruno MacPuff. MacPuff was a local eccentric who had smoked a pipe for as long as anyone could remember, and as a result had a remarkable halo of yellow, greasy hair, miraculously brown teeth, and holey clothes (where embers had burnt his tweed jacket).
Bruno suffered martyrdom when he fell asleep in his armchair and his trusty pipe fell into his lap, causing spontaneous combustion of his brown tartan kilt.
After much debate, the Church of Malton accepted that Bruno MacPuff had indeed been a holy man, as he had 1) never married; 2) lived the secluded life of a hermit, and 3) performed many miracles, viz. blowing smoke rings, blowing smoke out of his ears, and regularly disappearing in clouds of smoke.
