Oops, I originally sent this under the subject heading of 25 August,
apologies.
Today, 26 August, is the feast of ...
* Zephyrinus, pope and martyr (c. 217) - one of several popes who were
the only ones to bear their name (unlike the dozens named 'John')
* Timothy of Montecchio (1504) - from area of L'Aquila, he was a
Franciscan priest, noted for the efficacy of his prayers; also, Christ
spoke to him audibly from the sacramental species; today his remains are
in the friary of St Angelo in Ocra
