medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 30. March (including St. Secundus of Asti; St. Regulus of Arles; St. John Climacus; St. Zosimus of Syracuse; St. Osburh; St. Clinus; Bl. Joachim of Fiore):

Further to Secundus of Asti:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the observation that Italia nell'Arte Medievale is off-line is happily no longer valid.
In the same notice, the last of the four links to views of the chiesa di San Secondo at Cortazzone (AT) in Piedmont no longer functions. Use this instead:

In the same notice, the first two YouTube videos are no longer available.
Further to John Climacus:
John is also known as John of Sinai.
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, in the second paragraph for 'Leningrad' please read 'St. Petersburg'.
