This is the first in a series of several postings, to catch up to the
present day. Veterans of the list will know that these FEAST listings
provide notices of some of the saint's feasts of the Middle Ages. List
members are encouraged to correct or add to these listings. I fear
that today's 'catch-up' postings will be sketchy, but Carolyn Muessig has
kindly volunteered to post one of her popular anectodal listings for
tomorrow. Stay tuned... - George
