> Today (10. April) is the feast day of:
>
> Fulbert of Chartres (d. 1029) Fulbert was an Italian who studied at
> Rheims. He impressed one of his teachers, Gerbert of Aurillac, who as
> Pope Sylvester II used F. as an advisor. F. then became a canon of
> Chartres cathedral and diocesan chancellor, moving up to the episcopate in
> 1007. Fulbert helped build Chartres' cathedral school into a leading
> education center, wrote a lot of poems and hymns, rebuilt his cathedral
> (which had burned down; the crypt of the current building dates to F's
> rebuilding), and was also active in politics.
>
> Archangelo of Calatafimi (blessed) (d. 1460) The Sicilian Archangelo
> became a hermit as a young man and quickly attracted crowds for his
> spiritual counsel and miracle-working propensities. When Martin V ordered
> all Sicilian hermits to return to the world or join an order, A. became an
> Observant Franciscan, and was sent to establish a new convent at Alcamo
> (one of the places he had been a hermit). A's preaching was very popular
> and he served as minister provincial for Sicily. His cult was approved in
> 1836.
>
> Antony Neyrot (blessed) (d. 1460) Antonio Neyrot was a native of Rivoli
> (N. Italy); he became a Dominican in Florence. He was sent to Sicily for
> a time and, when leaving the island, his ship was captured by pirates and
> A. ended up as a prisoner in Tunis. After a few months in prison, A.
> became a Muslim and married (odd activities for a Christian holy man!).
> But after several months he changed his mind, dismissing his wife and
> going to the ruler of Tunis to proclaim his Christianity. He was
> eventually stoned. The cult was approved in 1767.
