Today, 4 August, is the feast of ...
* Ia and companions, martyrs (c. 360) - shortest-named saint?; Ia and
companions were cruelly tortured in Persia
* Molua or Lughaidh, abbot (608) - when he died, the birds wept
* Dominic, founder of the Order of Preachers (1221) - canonized in 1234 by
his friend Gregory IX, who said he no less doubted Dominic's sanctity than
that of Peter and Paul
