medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier (2011) 'Feasts and saints of the day' for 25. July (including St. James the Great; St. Cucufas; St. Christopher of Lycia):

Further to James the Great:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the second link to the exterior views of Bologna's San Giacomo Maggiore no longer functions. Use this instead:
http://tinyurl.com/cb7dlo9
In the same notice's 'Some portrayals of J.', add between items a) and b) this link to James as depicted in the earlier eleventh-century mosaics (restored betw. 1953 and 1962) of the katholikon of the monastery of Hosios Loukas near Distomo in Phokis:
http://tinyurl.com/3gjb3d4
In the same notice's 'Some portrayals of J.', at item b) for 'chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio' please read 'basilica di Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio'.
In the same notice's ''Some portrayals of J.', add between items d) and e) these views of the earlier thirteenth-century window devoted to James (but the entire left side is nineteenth-century) in Bourges' cathédrale Saint-Étienne:

On 25. July 2011 Gordon Plumb posted this set of views of James as depicted in various glass windows:

Further to Cucufas:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the fifth link to the views of the monastery dedicated to Cucufas at Sant Cugat del Vallès no longer functions.
In the same notice, add after the view of Cucufas' thirteenth-century reliquary chest in Barcelona's Museo Diocesano / Museu Diocesà this view of another side of that object:
http://catholicbarcelona.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/reliquary22.jpg
Further to Christopher of Lycia:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, for 'C.'s legendary Passio in Latin is at least as old as the eighth century (BHL 1766, 1768).' please read 'C.'s legendary Passio seems to be late antique in origin. Its earliest manuscript witnesses in Latin are dated to the eighth century (transmitting BHL 1766, 1768; the Latin dossier begins with BHL 1764, whose earliest witness is of the ninth century). Its earliest witness in Greek is dated to the ninth century (transmitting BHG 308w; the Greek dossier continues with BHG 309ff.). The early texts in both languages present him as soldier martyred at Antioch on the Orontes and say nothing about the subsequently familiar motif of his carrying the Christ Child.'
In the same notice, the first of the two links to illustrated, Italian-language pages on the chiesa di San Cristoforo at Lammari, a _frazione_ of Capannori (LU; not SI as given previously), no longer functions. Use this instead:
http://www.luccaterre.it/scheda.php?id=2795&lang=it
In the same notice, add after the links to the originally late thirteenth-century chiesa dei Santi Leonardo e Cristoforo in Monticchiello (SI) this link to a view of an earlier fourteenth-century fresco (ca. 1330) of Christoper in the Alte Pfarrkirche St. Martin in Garmisch in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Oberbayern):
http://tinyurl.com/crgtunn
In the same notice, add after the scenes from Christopher's legend as depicted in an earlier fourteenth-century (ca. 1326-1350) collection of French-language saint's Lives this view of him as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. 1335 and 1350) in the nave of the church of the Holy Ascension in the Visoki Dečani monastery near Peć in, depending upon one's view of the matter, either Serbia's province of Kosovo and Metohija or the Republic of Kosovo:
http://tinyurl.com/cvc44t5
In the same notice, the first link to the views of Christopher as depicted in a window panel in Holy Trinity Church, Goodramgate, York no longer functions. Use this instead:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/22274117@N08/2193727300/lightbox/
In the same notice add after the link to a view of the depiction of Christopher in later fifteenth-century painting (ca. 1470) by Dieric (Thierry) Bouts the Younger this link to an expandable view of the depiction of Christopher (at far left) in a later fifteenth-century painting (ca. 1480) of saints and the city of Köln by the Master of the Assumption and now in the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Köln:
http://tinyurl.com/c27oqqx
In the same notice, add at the end this link to Christopher (at right; at left, St. Jacob of Beth Lapat / St. James the Persian) as depicted by Theofanis Strelitzas-Bathas (Theophanes the Cretan) in an earlier sixteenth-century fresco (1527) in the katholikon of the monastery of St. Nicholas Anapafsas in the Meteora district of Greece's Trikala prefecture:

And not to forget the several images at Christopher's own page at Genevra Kornbluth's much appreciated site:
