medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 14. January (including St. Potitus; St. Felix of Nola; St. Nino; Bl. Oddo of Novara; St. Sava of Serbia):

Further to Nino:
In that earlier post, the first two links to views of Mtskheta's originally eleventh-century Svetitskhoveli (also rendered as Sveticxoveli) cathedral no longer function. Use these instead:

http://experti.ge/sveticxoveli1.jpg
In that post's same notice, the link to the third view of the Jvari monastery should be avoided as leading to a reported attack site. Use this instead:
http://www.daysingeorgia.ge/images/photos/jvari.jpg
In that notice, now add these views of this ornamental portal to the Jvari monastery church and of its tympanum sculpture:

Also in that notice, the link to the plan of the Jvari monastery's church no longer functions. A smallish one will be found in this English-language account of the monastery:

Many other views of this structure are here:

Further to Sava of Serbia:
To that earlier post's selection of portrayals of St. Sava of Serbia add the following:
Sava of Serbia as depicted in a thirteenth-century fresco in the church of St. Peter (and Paul) at Stari Ras (Raška dist.) in Serbia:

Sava of Serbia as depicted in the early fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. 1307 and 1309; restored in the 1950s and badly damaged by fire in 1974) in the church of Our Lady of Ljeviš in Prizren in, depending upon one's view of the matter, either the Republic of Kosovo or Serbia's province of Kosovo and Metohija:

Sava of Serbia as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. ca. 1314 and ca. 1320) by Michael Astrapas and Eutychios in the church of St. Nicetas the Goth (Sv. Nikita) at Čučer in today's Čučer-Sandevo in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia:

Sava of Serbia (at far right) as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. ca. 1317 and 1322) in the donors' composition in nave of the church of St. Demetrius in the Patriarchate of Peć at Peć in, depending upon one's view of the matter, either Serbia's province of Kosovo and Metohija or the Republic of Kosovo (the earlier post has a detail view of Sava as depicted in this fresco):
http://tinyurl.com/3s24o2g
Sava of Serbia (at right; at left, prob. St. Simeon the Myrrh-flowing [Simeon Nemanja]) as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (1340s) in the monastery church of St. Michael the Archangel at Lesnovo in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia:

Sava of Serbia as depicted in the late fourteenth-century frescoes (1389; restored in the early 1970s) in the monastery church of St. George at Matka in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia:
http://tinyurl.com/3vf6er7
In that earlier post's notice of Sava of Serbia the first link to views of his church at Budva in Montenegro no longer functions. Use this instead (the church of Sv. Sava is the one on the left):
http://tinyurl.com/7ksvz6m
The two churches shown in those views (the other is dedicated to the BVM) are in Budva's Old Town. Though the latter was very badly damaged by earthquakes in 1979, these churches were not seriously affected.
Best,
John Dillon
