Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 10. April (including St. Apollonius of Alexandria; St. Palladius of Auxerre; St. Bede the Younger; St. Macarius the Armenian; St. Fulbert of Chartres; Bl. Engelbert of Admont):

Further to Fulbert of Chartres:
In that previous post's notice of this saint, the views of the église Saint-Père at Chartres are few and rather poor. Use these instead:

In the same notice, the link to Christopher Crockett's post from 2009 with an illustrated account of this church no longer functions. Use this instead:

And add this link to Gordon Plumb's view of windows in this church:

In the same notice, the link to an offer of Fulbert of Chartres ringtones no longer functions. Those among us who have hitherto failed to acquire a musical reminder of the holy Fulbert may wish to use this link instead:

Today (10. April) is also the feast day of:
Anthony Neyrot (Bl.; d. 1460). Our principal source for Anthony (Antonio) Neyrot is a letter of 1461 addressed to Pius II from the Dominican provincial in Sicily incorporating what is said to be an eyewitness account of Anthony's end. A native of the Rivoli near Turin, Anthony entered the Order of Preachers in its convent of San Marco at Florence and trained there under St. Antoninus of Florence. At his urging he was sent to Sicily, whence while traveling at sea he was captured by pirates in 1458 and taken to Tunis. After a period of imprisonment he was set free, lived for a while as a Christian, converted to Islam, and married. When news of St. Antoninus' death in 1459 reached Anthony he repented of his apostasy and before the emir (this will have been Uthman, who employed freed slaves in his administration) openly affirmed his renewed adhesion to Christianity. Sentenced to death for his apostasy from Islam, he was executed by stoning. Genoese merchants returned his body to Italy. Anthony's cult was confirmed papally in 1767 at the level of Beatus.
Best,
John Dillon
