medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier (2011) 'Feasts and saints of the day' for 12. August (including Sts. Anicetus and Photius [or Photinus]; St. Euplus; St. Muiredach of Killala; St. Herculanus of Brescia; St. Porcarius of Lérins and companions):

Further to Anicetus and Photius:
Anicetus (very probably) and Photius as depicted in the later thirteenth-century frescoes (betw. 1260 and 1263) under the dome of the church of the Apostles in the Patriarchate of Peć at Peć in, depending on one's view of the matter, either Serbia's province of Kosovo and Metohija or the Republic of Kosovo:
Anicetus (the reading of this saint's legend as NIKETAS is very doubtful: the top of an alpha is visible to the left of the nu and the ligature at the end is clearly omicron + sigma):

Photius:

Photius as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. ca. 1312 and 1321/1322) of the nave 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:

In that earlier post's notice of these saints, the link to a view of Photius as depicted in the King's Church at Studenica no longer functions. Use this instead:

In the same notice, the links to the views of Anicetus as depicted in the prothesis of the Visoki Dečani monastery near Peć likewise no longer function. Use these instead (lower register at left; at right, definitely St. Mercurius and not, as the page linked to would have it, Photius):

Further to Euplus:
Euplus (defaced) as depicted in the perhaps late twelfth-century frescoes by John Iveropoulos in the ossuary church at the Bačkovo monastery near Asenovgrad in south central Bulgaria's Plovdiv oblast:

A better view of Euplus as depicted in the late twelfth-century "Dynamic Style" frescoes in the church of St. George at Kurbinovo in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia:

In that earlier post's notice of this saint, for 'E. as depicted in 1208 in the church of the Theotokos in the Studenica monastery' please read 'E. as depicted in 1208-1209 (repainted in 1569) in the church of the Theotokos in the Studenica monastery'. The sixteenth-century repainting of these frescoes appears to have been studiously conservative at least in regard to the figures' dress.
Euplus as depicted in the later thirteenth-century frescoes (1259) in the church of Sts. Nicholas and Panteleimon at Boyana near the Bulgarian capital of Sofia:

Euplus (at right; at left, St. Lawrence of Rome) as depicted in the earlier sixteenth-century frescoes (1545 and 1546) by Theofanis Strelitzas-Bathas (a.k.a. Theophanes the Cretan) in the katholikon of the Stavronikita monastery on Mt. Athos:

Further to Herculanus of Brescia:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to a view (from 1905) of the interior of the chiesa di San Giovanni at Toscolano-Maderno (BS) no longer takes one there directly. Use this instead:
