medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 11. April (including St. Antipas; St. Domnius of Salona; St. Isaac of Spoleto; St. Barsanuphius of Gaza; St Guthlac; St. Stanislas of Kraków; Bl. Landuin; Bl. Angelo of Chivasso):

Further to Antipas (also known as Antipas of Pergamum):
Antipas is traditionally invoked for diseases of the teeth.
A revised set of visuals for Antipas:
a) Antipas (at right, after St. Gregory of Agrigento) as depicted in the late thirteenth-century frescoes (ca. 1295) by Michael Astrapas and Eutychios in the church of the Peribleptos (now Sv. Climent Novi) in Ohrid:

b) Antipas (lower register, at left) as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. ca. 1311 and ca. 1322) in the church of St. Nicholas Orphanos in Thessaloniki:

c) Antipas as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. ca. 1312 and 1321/1322) in the monastery church of the Theotokos at Gračanica in, depending upon one's view of the matter, either the Republic of Kosovo or Serbia's province of Kosovo and Metohija:

d) Antipas as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. ca. 1313 and ca. 1320) in the King's Church (dedicated to Sts. Joachim and Anne) in the Studenica monastery near Kraljevo (Raška dist.) in Serbia:

e) Antipas (at right; at left, St. Anthimus of Nicomedia) as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (1330s) in the church of the Hodegetria 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:

f) TAN (just barely): Antipas as depicted in the later sixteenth-century frescoes (ca. 1560; Cretan school) in the katholikon of the Roussano monastery in Meteora (Trikala prefecture) in central Greece:

g) TAN (perhaps just barely): Also perhaps just past our cutoff date of 1550 is the church of Agios Antipas in Pyroi in, depending upon one's view of the matter, either the northern part of the Nicosia district of the Republic of Cyprus or the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (the town lies just within the Turkish zone of occupation):

The church's description here <http://tinyurl.com/3crogxo> quotes George Jeffery, _A Description of the Historic Monuments of Cyprus_ (Nicosia, 1918) as saying, "The village church is perhaps older than the Turkish occupation [i.e., the Ottoman occupation beginning in 1570] and one of the smallest in Cyprus. It is a sort of miniature or toy copy of a Byzantine medieval church, with nave and two side aisles, and a tranceptal bay covered by a small dome. Although of such pretensions, its nave is barely six feet wide and the rest of its parts are in due proportion... This curious little church is dedicated to St. Stipas, an obscure dedication, possibly a local or corrupted form of Antipas, martyr of Pergamos."
Jeffery's conjecture about the name of the church's titular is paralleled by current practice. Both the church itself and its homonymous locality in Pyroi are now called Ayios/Agios Antipas. Although there is an attested ancient Greek Cypriot name _Styppax_, there's no known saint Stipas.
Further to Domnius of Salona:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the first of the links to views of Split's cathedral dedicated to him no longer functions. Use this instead:

In the same notice, the first link to the views of Domnius as depicted in the apse mosaic of the Lateran Baptistery's Chapel of St. Venantius no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to Isaac of Spoleto:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, replace the link to a not very good view of what I had said was his sarcophagus in Spoleto's chiesa di Sant'Ansano (that view is almost certainly of the modern copy there; the twelfth-century original is up in the Rocca Albornoziana in the Museo nazionale del Ducato di Spoleto) with this link to two greatly expandable views in the Italian-language account of the original here:

Further to Angelo of Chivasso:
In the second paragraph of that earlier post's notice of this Beatus, for 'Valdensians' (a slip prompted by the spelling of the name of Valdese, North Carolina) please read 'Waldensians'.
In the same notice, the first of the two links to views of the fifteenth-century portal of Cuneo's ex-chiesa di San Francesco no longer functions.
