Herewith a link to an earlier (2010) 'Saints of the day' for 16. October (including St. Longinus the Soldier; St. Gall; St. Lullus; St. Bertrand of Comminges; St. Hedwig of Silesia):

In that earlier post's notice of this saint, at item h) in 'Some portrayals' for 'L. (right rear, behind St. John) as depicted in an earlier thirteenth-century fresco (1209) in the nave of the church of the Presentation of the Theotokos in the Studenica monastery' please read 'L. (right rear, behind St. John) as depicted in the earlier thirteenth-century frescoes (1208-1209; repainted in 1569) in the nave of 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.
In the same notice, add between items h) and i) in 'Some portrayals':
L. as depicted in a later thirteenth-century fresco (ca. 1260) in the church of the Panagia Mavriotissa in Kastoria (Kastoria prefecture) in northwestern Greece:

In the same notice, add between items j) and k) in 'Some portrayals':
L. as depicted (at right, behind St. John) in a Crucifixion scene in the frescoes of ca. 1300 (or, perhaps, ca. 1290) attributed to Manuel Panselinos in the Protaton church on Mt. Athos:

and:
L.'s martyrdom (lower register at right; at left in the same register, St. Sabinus of Catania and, in the water, St. Lucian of Antioch) as depicted in an October calendar composition in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. 1313 and 1318; conservation work in 1968) by Michael Astrapas and Eutychios in the church of St. George at Staro Nagoričane in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia:

In the same notice, at item m) in 'Some portrayals' none of the links to L. as depicted in the Crucifixion scene in the dome of the church of the Holy Ascension at the Visoki Dečani monastery still functions. Use this instead for the general view (L. at far right, nimbed):

and these for the detail views:

In the same notice, the second and third links to views of the Holy Lance in Vienna no longer function.
Further to Lullus:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the first link to views of the ruin of abbey church at Bad Hersfeld no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to Hedwig of Silesia:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the third link to views of her chapel and tomb in the abbey church at Trebnitz / Trzebnica no longer functions.
In the same notice, the first two links to views of altar panels from ca. 1430 showing scenes of H., now in the National Museum in Warsaw, no longer function.
Best,
John Dillon
