Today, 2 July, is the feast of ...
* Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Last Stan Methany brought our attention to the following:
The current Roman Calendar (since 1970) transferred the Feast of the
Visitation to 31 May.
* Processus and Martinian, martyrs (?) - supposedly guarded Peter and
Paul while in the Mamertine prison
* Monegundis, widow (570) - lived as a recluse first at Chartres then at
Tours, where so many fervent women joined her that the convent of St
Pierre-le-Puellier was founded
* Otto, bishop of Bamberg (1139) - baptized over 20,000 eastern
Pomeranians
* Peter of Luxemburg, bishop of Metz and cardinal (1387) - all this
before or in his eighteenth year!
