Today, 20 September, is the feast of...
Eustace and his companions, martyrs (2nd century?): Placidas, a Roman
general under Trajan, while hunting saw a stag, between whose antlers
appeared a figure of Christ on the cross; he converted, changed his name,
and got himself and his family martyred by being roasted to death in a
brazen bull - patron of hunters.
* Vincent Madelgarius, abbot (c. 687): Also known as Mauger or Vincent of
Soignies wife (Waldetrudis/Waudru) and kids (Landericus/Landry,
Madelberta, Aldetrudis and Dentelinus) also venerated as saints. His vita
was written in the abbey of Hautmont in the tenth or eleventh century.
