medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier (2010) 'Saints of the day' for 17. September (including St. Satyrus of Milan; St. Lambertus of Maastricht; St. Columba of Córdoba; St. Hildegard of Bingen):

Further to Satyrus of Milan:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to the page with a view of his reliquary in the cappella dei Santi Bartolomeo e Satiro in Milan's basilica di Sant'Ambrogio now takes one to a reported attack site. Use this instead:

Further to Hildegard of Bingen:
Hildegard's cult was extended to the entire Roman Catholic church by His Holiness Benedict XVI on 10. May 2012.
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the last of the links to views of the remains of the abbey of St. Disibod no longer functions. Use this instead:

Today (17. September) is also the feast of:
The Impression of the Stigmata upon St. Francis of Assisi (1224). This Franciscan feast is reported to have been established at that order's Chapter of Cahors in 1337; its official status is first recorded in legislation emanating from the Chapter of Assisi in 1340. Other orders enter it in their martyrologies as well and it graced the RM until the latter's revision of 2001.
An English-language translation of St. Bonaventure of Bagnoregio's account in his _Legenda minor_ of Francis' reception of the stigmata is here (but one should treat very cautiously the same page's assertion that Bl. Benedict XI [1303-1304] permitted the Friars Minor to celebrate the feast in question):

Francis is said to have received the stigmata at what in now the santuario della Verna in Chiusi della Verna (AR). Herewith a few links to views of the originally fourteenth- and fifteenth-century chiesa maggiore at La Verna and, extending from that church at a ca. 90-degree angle, the originally thirteenth-century chiesetta di Santa Maria degli Angeli:

In 2011 Gordon Plumb posted a link to this view of Francis receiving the stigmata as depicted in glass in the cathedral of Metz:

and your correspondent followed with a few links to other medieval depictions of Francis about to receive the stigmata, receiving them, or having just received them:
