Today, 4 August, is the feast of ...
* Ia and companions, martyrs (c. 360)
- shortest-named saint?; Ia and companions were cruelly tortured
in Persia
* Molua or Lughaidh, abbot (608)
- when he died, the birds wept
* Dominic, founder of the Order of Preachers (1221)
- canonized in 1234 by his friend Gregory IX, who said he no less
doubted Dominic's sanctity than that of Peter and Paul
