Today, 21 September, is the feast of...
Matthew, apostle and evangelist (first century): Four French churches
possess his head.
Laudus (Lo), bishop and confessor (568)
Maura of Troyes, virgin (c. 850): Bishop Prudentius, her hagiographer,
ascribed his own conversion to her influence. Every Wednesday and Friday
she fasted allowing herself only bread and water. She often walked
barefoot to the monastery of Mantenay, which was two leagues away, to open
up the secrets of her soul to the abbot of that monastery. (I am not
exactly sure what two leagues equal, but I am sure it is far, after all
she was a saint.)
Michael of Chernigov and Theodore, martyrs (1246): Among most popular of
Russian martyrs during the Tartar invasions.
