Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 22. April (including St. Soter, pope; St. Epipodius; St. Leonides of Alexandria; St. Caius, pope; St. Agapitus I, pope; St. Theodore the Sykeote; St. Opportuna; Bl. Meingoz of Weingarten):

Further to Soter:
To that earlier post's notice of this saint, add this monochrome view of his late fifteenth-century portrait (1480 or 1481) in the Sistine Chapel:

Further to Leonides of Alexandria:
To that earlier post's notice of this saint, add this view of Leonidas (second figure from the top) as depicted in a hand-colored woodcut in the Beloit College copy of Hartmann Schedel's _Nuremburg Chronicle_ (1493) at fol. CXVIr:

Further to Caius:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to an English-language description of his crypt in the cemetery of Callistus no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to Theodore the Sykeote:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the links to the transcription and English-language translation of the legend on the seal of the _krites tou velou_ Theodoros Spanopoulos no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to Opportuna:
In the first and third paragraphs of that earlier post's notice of this saint, for 'Almenèches' please read 'Almenêches' (the current official form).
In the same notice's second paragraph, the link to a page with smallish views of two churches dedicated to Opportuna no longer functions. Use these for views of the église Sainte-Opportune-la-Campagne at Le Plessis-Sainte-Opportune, a _canton_ of Beaumont-le-Roger (Eure):

And add to the page of views of the église paroissiale Sainte-Opportune at Sainte-Opportune-du-Bosc (Eure) this brief, illustrated account of that originally twelfth-century church:

In the same notice's third paragraph, replace the views of the now mostly earlier sixteenth-century abbatiale Sainte-Opportune at Almenêches (Orne) with these:

Today (22. April) is also the feast day of:
Senorina (d. ca. 980). Our chief sources for this abbess in what is now northern Portugal are early modern versions (BHL 7579, 7580) of a brief Vita in the thirteenth-century _Vitae sanctorum_ of the monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra. A daughter of a comital family in the vicinity of Braga and a relative of St. Rudesindus (1. March), with whom she is said jointly to have operated a miracle of raising the dead, she was raised for the Church in the abbey of St. John at today's Vieira do Minho that had been founded by her father that and was ruled by her aunt St. Godina. Having succeeded as abbess, Senorina moved her community to Basto, where she died and was buried in the abbey church. Miracles were reported at her tomb and a cult arose, followed by an Elevatio in that church by archbishop Pelagius of Braga (986-1003). According to the reported text of a donation by Sancho I of Portugal (1185-1212), one of those later healed at Senorina's tomb was the gravely ill future king Alfonso II of Portugal.
Best,
John Dillon
