Today, 29 November, is the feast of ...
* Saturninus, martyr (c. 309)
- a priest who came to Rome from Carthage; imprisoned, put
on the rack, beaten, scourged, scorched with fire, then
beheaded, he was buried in the cemetery of Thraso
* Saturninus or Sernin, bishop of Toulouse, martyr (third
century?)
- first bishop of Toulouse, he preached on both sides of
the Pyrenees; he was captured by non-Christian priests, who
in anger tied his feet to a bull, that dragged him through
the city until he died
* Radbod, bishop of Utrecht (918)
- like his episcopal predecessors, he lived as a monk
throughout his adult life; wrote hymns, poems and brief
liturgical works
* Frederick of Regensburg (1329)
- an Augustinian lay-brother, renowned for receiving
communion from an angel
