Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 10. June (incl. St. Getulius; St. Maximus of Aveia; St. Ithamar; St. Landericus [Landry] of Paris; St. Oliva of Palermo; Bl. Giovanni Dominici):

Further to Getulius:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the second link to the interior views of Teramo's chiesa di Sant'Anna (formerly dedicated to Getulius) no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to Ithamar:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to the view of the Ithamar Chapel in Rochester's cathedral no longer takes one there directly. For that view, click on no. 9 in the schematic plan at upper left.
Further to Oliva of Palermo:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to the second (larger) view of the icon in Palermo's Museo diocesano depicting her no longer functions. Use this instead:

Today (10. June) is also the feast day of:
Timothy of Prusa (d. ca. 362?). This saint is absent from both the later fourth-century Syriac martyrology and the (pseudo-)Hieronymian martyrology as well as from the writings of late antique church historians. But his feast today is recorded in the early (pre-Byzantine) liturgical calendar from Palestine preserved in a Georgian-language version in the tenth-century _Codex sinaiticus_ 34. In Greek menaea and synaxaries, where his feast is recorded either under today (as in the SynCP) or under 26. May, he has notices that make him a bishop of Prusa martyred by decapitation under emperor Julian and that dwell on a miracle in which he is said to have slain a great serpent that infested Prusa (today's Bursa in Turkey) and its baths. That story probably finds fuller expression in Timothy's legendary Passio (BHG 2460; still largely unpublished). Timothy's notice under today in synaxaries that incorporate matter from the ceremonial typikon of the Great Church inform us that in Constantinople he was celebrated on this day in his own martyrial church. Cardinal Baronio entered him under today in the early RM; he stayed there until the revision of 2001 when he ceased to grace its pages.
Timothy of Prusa (at right; at left, St. Cyril of Alexandria [9. June in the SynCP]) as depicted in a June calendar composition in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes of 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:

The martyrdom of Timothy of Prusa (and a multitude of companions; the latter also occur in the Maronite tradition of this saint) as depicted in a June calendar scene in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes in the church of the Holy Ascension at the Visoki Dečani monastery near Peć in, depending upon one's view of the matter, either Serbia's province of Kosovo and Metohija or the Republic of Kosovo:

Timothy of Prusa as depicted in the earlier sixteenth-century frescoes (1545 and 1546) by Theofanis Strelitzas-Bathas (Theophanes the Cretan) in the katholikon of the Stavronikita monastery on Mt. Athos:
