Further to Beatus of Vendôme:
In that previous post's notice of this saint, replace the second link for a view of his church in Épône (Yvelines) with this more direct one:

In the same notice, the final link to a view of the same church no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to Beatus of Thun:
In that previous post's notice of this saint, the link a view of the pilgrim badge for Beatus' cave in the Bernese Oberland no longer functions. For a good view of this object, click on its image here:
