medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 13. June (including St. Felicula; St. Triphyllius; St. Cetheus, also known as Peregrinus; St. Psalmodius; St. Rambert; St. Aventinus of Saint-Aventin; St. Anthony of Padua): http://tinyurl.com/6t2ocpc Further to Triphyllius: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, Triphyllius' Bios should have been identified as BHG 2462. Further to Cetheus, also known as Peregrinus: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to what had been four pages of expandable views of the oratorio di San Pellegrino at Bominaco (AQ) no longer functions. Use this instead, taking one to two pages of expandable views at the same photographer's now rearranged site: http://tinyurl.com/84hrkxq Further to Aventinus of Saint-Aventin: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the second of the several links to closer exterior views of the restored église Saint-Aventin in Saint-Aventin (Haute-Garonne) no longer functions. Further to Anthony of Padua: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to a view of the high altar in the basilica del Santo in Padua no longer functions. Use these instead: http://www.wga.hu/art/d/donatell/2_mature/padova/1altar3.jpg http://www.wga.hu/art/d/donatell/2_mature/padova/1altar1.jpg In the same notice, the link to the Italian-language account of the frescoes in the Scoletta / Scuola del Santo in Padua is not working at the moment. Use this instead: http://tinyurl.com/8x9f4es To the same notice, add this link to an expandable view of Anthony of Padua as depicted in the later fifteenth-century Prayer Book of Charles the Bold (Los Angeles, Getty Museum and Library, Ms. 37): http://www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/artObjectDetails?artobj=1955 Today (13. June) is also the feast day of: Fandila (d. 853). We know about this martyr of Córdoba from St. Eulogius of Córdoba's _Memoriale sanctorum_, 3. 7. A native of Guadix, Fandila had as a youth come to Córdoba to be educated in the church. After joining the extra-urban monastery at Tábanos and being ordained priest, he ministered to the monks at the monastery of the Savior at also nearby Pinna Mellaria. Tábanos was a hot-bed of Christian resistance to Islam in Muslim-ruled Córdoba and Fandila, whom Eulogius describes as being still a young man (_ephebus_), did something that brought him before the cadi. During this appearance he castigated what Eulogius calls the impure prophet and his filthy crowd of followers who if they did not repent would suffer eternal damnation. Having in the eyes of Muslim officialdom thus blasphemed the Prophet, Fandila was sentenced to death by decapitation, becoming the first martyr under the new emir, Muhammed I. Today is his _dies natalis_.
