medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Today (13. June) is the feast day of:
Triphyllius (d. c. 370) Triphyllius was a native of Cyprus who
became an active opponent of Arianism. He was noted for his eloquent
preaching and his learning.
Antony of Padua (d. 1231) Antony was a native of Portugal. He
became a canon regular, but transferred to the Franciscan order in
1221, taking the name Antony at that time. He set off for Morocco to
preach to the Muslims, but had to turn back because of illness, but
then went on to Italy and became a sensationally successful preacher.
He was extremely active and successful in making converts, attacking
corruption, helping the poor, and working with heretics. He died at
the age of 36--apparently of exhaustion. A. was canonized the
following year and declared a doctor of the church in 1946.
