medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Herewith a link to an earlier (2010) 'Saints of the day' for 1. September (including St. Priscus of Capua; St. Terentianus of Todi; St. Victor of Le Mans; St. Constantius of Aquino; St. Verena; St. Lupus of Sens; St. Giles, abbot in Occitania): http://tinyurl.com/9xoovje Further to Constantius of Aquino: A revised set of links for Aquino's seemingly originally eleventh-century chiesa di Santa Maria della Libera, expanded in the thirteenth century: http://tinyurl.com/9l9cg9d http://www.nuovipanorami.it/italia/lazio/aquino.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/26036223@N02/3412863238/lightbox/ The page on this church at Italia nell'Arte Medievale has some good views of the Roman-period spolia used in its construction and decoration: http://www.medioevo.org/artemedievale/Pages/Lazio/Aquino.html Further to Verena: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the second link to the views of the Pfarrkirche St. Verena in Roggenbeuren takes one to the same view linked to by its predecessor. For a different distance view, use this instead: http://tinyurl.com/9j3auku Further to Lupus of Sens: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to 'More views' of his church at his church at Saint-Loup de Naud (Seine-et-Marne) no longer takes one there directly. Use this instead: http://ica.princeton.edu/langland/main.php?country=France&site=202&view=site&page=1 Further to Giles, abbot in Occitania: In that earlier post's notice of this saint the link to a page with expandable views of scenes from G.'s Vita as depicted in stone and in glass at the cathedral of Chartres no longer functions. Use this instead (views continue on the following page): http://tinyurl.com/cm6nocm In the same notice, the link to a view of Giles (at left; at right, St. Lupus of Sens) as depicted in the early fifteenth-century (ca. 1410) Hours of René d'Anjou also no longer functions. Use this instead: http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/ILLUMIN.ASP?Size=mid&IllID=48348 In the same notice, the link to an illustrated, Italian-language page on the history of the former priory of Sant'Egidio at Sant'Egidio di Prato Pantano in today's San Giovanni Rotondo (FG) likewise no longer functions. Use this instead: http://www.lavalledeglieremi.it/casale%20di%20sant%27egidio.htm Today (1. September) is also the feast day of: Juliana of Collalto (Bl.; d. 1262). Our principal source for this Beata is her relatively rather late Vita BHL 4528, printed in the _Acta Sanctorum_ from a copy of a text that had been preserved in the women's monastery of Sts. Cataldus and Blaise founded by her in Venice. A scion of a noble family based at Collalto in the vicinity of Treviso but active in various parts of the Veneto, at age fourteen she took the habit at the Benedictine abbey of St. Margaret in Salarola near Padua. In 1226 she founded from there an abbey on Venice's Isola di Spinalonga (now Isola della Giudecca) next to a church dedicated to St. Cataldus and to St. Blaise (in Italian, Cataldo e Biagio) from which the monastery -- of which Juliana was the first abbess -- took its name. Juliana lived chastely and piously, was an example to her sisters, and received a vision of an angel holding the infant Jesus. After her death she was buried in the monastery's churchyard. A cult arose (according to the Vita, this was not limited to the sisters) and in 1290 Juliana's body was exhumed for translation into the monastery's church, at which time it was pronounced to be incorrupt. An ornate wooden sarcophagus was created to house her remains; this can still be seen in Venice's Museo Correr: http://www.scalarchives.com/scalapic/060202/c/0120417c.jpg Juliana's cult was confirmed papally in 1733 at the level of Beata. In 1810 her remains were translated to her native Collalto (now a _frazione_ of Susegana [TV]) and in 1822 they were moved to their present location there, the chiesa di Sant'Eufemia, where they are housed in the cappella di Sant'Anna.
