medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Today, 6. January, is the Feast of the Epiphany / Theophany and the day of commemoration in the RM of Sts. Julian and Basilissa, St. Felix of Nantes; St. Erminold of Prüfening; St. Guarinus of Palestrina; Bl. Macarius Scotus; St Peter Thomas; and St. Andrea Corsini.
Herewith a link to an earlier 'FEAST' posting for 6. January with particularly informative contributions by Bill East on the Epiphany and by the late Jo Ann McNamara on Bl. Gertrude / Gertrudis of Delft (a.k.a. Gertrudis van Oosten), a fourteenth-century mystic and stigmatic who has yet to grace the pages of the RM:

Some updates and corrections to that earlier post of visuals for the Epiphany:
at no. 2, the video from the Museo diocesano in Milan is no longer available through tiscali.it (I haven't looked to see whether it's available elsewhere).
