Today, 24 August, is the feast of ...
* Bartholomew, apostle (first century) - apostle of India?; churches in
Benevento and Rome are among those holding relics
* Martyrs of Utica (258?) - popularized by Prudentius, based on the name
of the place where these Christians were buried, 'Massa Candida'
* Audoenus or Ouen, bishop of Rouen (684) - while a child, his father
entertained the exiled St Columban in his house; some relics were
translated to Canterbury
