medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Herewith a link to an earlier (2010) 'Saints of the day' for 31. August (including Sts. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus; St. Aristides of Athens; St. Caesidius and companions; St. Paulinus of Trier; St. Aidan; St. Raymond Nonnatus): http://tinyurl.com/8qdb5h9 Unfortunately, other concerns have prevented me from reviewing that post's links for continued functionality and pertinence. Herewith a couple of links to further depictions of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus: Joseph of Arimathea (at top; the other saint appears to be the apostle John) as depicted in a Deposition scene in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (1312) in the katholikon of the Vatopedi monastery on Mt. Athos: http://tinyurl.com/7kkbm3l Nicodemus as depicted in the same Deposition scene: http://tinyurl.com/79vxs3q Further to Aidan: On 31. August 2011 Gordon Plumb posted these links to depictions of Aidan in glass: http://tinyurl.com/8tz8wxq 31. August is also a feast day of the Deposition of the Holy Belt of the Mother of God. Matter from 31. August 2011 (posted by Terri Morgan and by myself) on the Deposition of the Holy Belt is here: http://tinyurl.com/8f8y2wn In the final paragraph of that post, add to the not exhaustive list of places claiming possession of the Holy Belt the collégiale Saint-Ours at Loches.
