Today, 29 January, is the feast of ...
* Sabinian, martyr (?)
- honoured in Troyes as its first apostle and martyr
* Gildas the Wise, abbot (c. 570)
- wrote about 'the miseries, the errors and the ruin of Britain' in
his *De excidio Britanniae*; so out of spite, in no British diocese
is his feast observed (although it is observed in Vannes, France)
* Sulpicius Severus, bishop of Bourges (591)
- this is NOT the noted writer of the same name, but a bishop whose
deeds are recounted by Gregory of Tours
