medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier (2010) 'Saints of the day' for 2. October (including St. Eleutherius of Nicomedia; St. Modestus, ven. at Benevento; St. Leodegarius of Autun; St. Theophilus the Confessor; St. Ursicinus of Chur):

Further to Leodegarius of Autun:
The opening of a Passio of St. Leodegarius (similar to BHL 4853m) in an earlier twelfth-century Passionale from St Augustine's Canterbury (London, BL, MS Arundel 91, fol. 47v):

In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to the page with 'Many more views' of the originally twelfth- to fourteenth-century église collégiale Saint-Léger at Marsal (Moselle) no longer functions. Use this instead (same matter and same photographs):

In the same notice, the link to a page with 'Many more views' of the originally fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Leodegarius at Ashby St Ledgers (Northants) no longer functions in this way. Use this instead (seemingly the same photographs):

In the same notice, the link to a page with 'More views (better for the paintings)' of the same church no longer takes one there directly. Use this instead (the views start in the second row from bottom and continue on the next page):

In the same notice, the first of the two links to pages with views of the earlier sixteenth-century église Saint-Léger at Saint-Léger-en-Bray (Oise) no longer functions. Use this instead (the two views here follow the matter on Lavoisier):

Today (2. October) is also the feast day of:
Beregisus (d. betw. 725 and 750). We know about Beregisus (in French usually Bérégise; in English sometimes Beregise) from his earlier ninth-century Vita (BHL 1180) by a monk of the community he had established at a place in the Ardenne variously known as Andage and Andain, now Saint-Hubert in the Belgian province of Luxembourg. Starting in ca. 815, this house (previously a canonry) was reformed as a Benedictine abbey by bishop Walcaud of Liège who in 825 translated to it the relics of St. Hubert from which the abbey subsequently took its name. It is thought that Walcaud commissioned or at least stimulated the writing of Beregisus' Vita. The latter relies on oral tradition informed by good historical understanding that in at least one specific (foundation on the remains of a Roman-period villa) has been confirmed by recent archaeological investigation. According to this account, Beregisus was a native of a village called Condustrum who became a monk of Saint-Trond and who later served in the court of Pepin of Héristal. Pepin charged him with founding the house at a site that Beregisus and Pepin's wife Plectrude had previously discovered. This Beregisus did, acquiring sufficient property to sustain the community, erecting the buildings (including a church dedicated to St. Peter), and serving exemplarily as the first abbot. Beregisus was laid to rest on a 2. October. After the translation of Beregisus' contemporary St. Hubert both saints continue to perform miracles and to watch over their house. Thus far the Vita.
