medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 20. March (including St. Martin of Braga; St. Cuthbert; St. Wulfram; the Twenty Martyrs of Mar Saba; St. John of Nepomuk; Bl. Battista Spagnolo):

Further to Martin of Braga:
Martin is also known as Martin of Dumio and as Martin of Mondoñedo.
To that earlier post's notice of this saint, add this English-language Wikipedia article on the monastery of St. Martin at Dumio (now Dume):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monastery_of_Dumio
And to that page's view of Martin's sarcophagus add this one:

To the same notice, add as well these illustrated, Spanish-language pages on the basílica de San Martino (in gallego, San Martiño) de Mondoñedo at Foz (Lugo):

http://laberintoromanico.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Also add this multi-page, very well illustrated Spanish-language site on the same church (either use the drop-down menu of selections at top center or keep clicking on ADELANTE at lower right on each page):

Further to Cuthbert:
To that earlier post's notice of this saint, add these views of a king (often identified as Æthelstan) and Cuthbert as depicted in a tenth-century copy of St. Bede the Venerable's Vitae of him (Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS. 183, fol. 4):

In the same notice, the loan of St. Cuthbert Gospel of St. John to the British Library was characterized as permanent. That was then. In 2011 the book's owner, the British Province of the Society of Jesus, decided to sell it to the British Library, thus ending the loan:

and the British Library in turn is still raising funds to meet the purchase price (in these pages, the expandable views of the book's binding and of one of its manuscript pages are in color, whereas the views linked to in the aforesaid notice are black-and-white):

In the same notice, the second link to the views of St Cuthbert's Church in Aldingham (Lancs) no longer functions. Use these instead:
http://tinyurl.com/6mo48uk
http://tinyurl.com/8xqkcyf
In the same notice, the first link to the views of the Church of St Mary and St Cuthbert in Chester-le-Street (Durham) no longer functions. Use this instead (and ignore the second link, which is to a view also appearing on this other page):
http://tinyurl.com/7tw9wlg
In the same notice, the first link to the views of the Church of St Cuthbert in Wells no longer functions. Use these instead:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_St_Cuthbert,_Wells
http://www.stcuthbertswells.co.uk/welcome/history/
To the same notice, add this link to an English-language page on the originally thirteenth- to sixteenth-century St Cuthbert's Church at Holme Lacy (Herefordshire):
http://tinyurl.com/7f7hpet
Further to Wulfram:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the first link to the views, etc. of St Wulfram's Church in Grantham (Lincs) no longer functions. Use this instead:
http://www.stwulframs.org.uk/?page_id=84
Neither does the link to the fifth view (an interior one). Use this instead:
http://tinyurl.com/7bvwfhy
In the same notice, the second link to other views of the église collégiale Saint-Vulfran in Abbeville no longer functions.
Some Swedes might like to know whether Wulfram were once buried under a heavy stone.
Further to the Twenty Martyrs of Mar Saba:
In that earlier post's notice of these saints, in the sentence about the Wikipedia page for 'several' please read 'two' (to conform with the page's current state). For the views that have been removed see:
