medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Today (27. February) is the feast day of:
Julian and companions (d. 250) Julian was an old man of Alexandria,
crippled so badly that two friends had to carry him to court when he
was charged with practicing Christianity during the Decian
persecution. One of the friends was condemned along with J (the
other decided that a pinch of incense never hurt anyone). They were
flogged and then apparently killed by being covered with quicklime.
Three other Christians were also killed that way (yuck).
Baldomerus (d. c. 660) Baldomerus (Galmier, Baudemir, or even
Waldimer) was a blacksmith of Lyons. He was very pious and in the
habit of giving everything he had away to the poor. A local abbot
offered to take B. into his monastery. He was very pious (in case I
haven't mentioned it before).
