An earlier structure now dedicated to Phanourios but apparently pre-dating his cult is the originally Second-Byzantine-period (late tenth- to late twelfth- or very early thirteenth-century) church of Agios Fanourios in Kitharida, a locality of Malevizi (Heraklion prefecture) on Crete:

Further to Caesarius of Arles:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the second link to views of the église Saint-Blaise in Arles no longer functions. Use this instead:

In the same notice, the link to the page of views of Caesarius' relics no longer functions. Views of the relics in question will be found here:

In the same notice, the first link to the views of the twelfth-century statuette of Caesarius in the église abbatiale Saint-Césaire at Maurs (Cantal) no longer functions. Use this instead (where the statuette is said to be a reliquary):

27. August is also the feast day of:
1) Kuksha of the Kievan Caves (d. not long after 1114). Kuksha was a monk of the Kyiv (Kiev)-Pechersk lavra. We know about him from the Patericon of that monastery and from the _Russian Primary Chronicle_. Kuksha evangelized among the Vyatichi in the Oka basin. Their leaders had him decapitated on this day. He has yet to grace the pages of the RM.

2) Amadeus of Lausanne (d. 1159). In 1139 St. Bernard of Clairvaux designated the nobly born Amadeus (also A. of Hauterive), a monk of Clairvaux, as abbot of Hautecombe in today's Saint-Pierre-de-Curtille near Aix-les-Bains (Savoie). In 1144 Amadeus was made bishop of Lausanne; in his last years he was also co-regent of Savoy and chancellor of Burgundy. In addition to several letters eight Marian homilies survive from his pen. Here's an advert for an English-language translation of the latter by Grace Perigo with an introduction by the late Fr. Chrysogonus Waddell (Kalamazoo, MI: Cistercian Publications, c1979):

Amadeus' cult was confirmed papally in 1903. He is entered under today in the revised RM of 2001 with the designation Sanctus.
Best,
John Dillon
