Dear All,
Sorry about the lack of saints' postings since 28 November! I'll try to
make it up over the next few days.
Today, 28 November, is the feast of ...
* Stephen the Younger, martyr (764)
- defending icons, he was persecuted by the emperor and
then lynched by a mob
* Simeon Metaphrastes (c. 1000)
- known as 'The Reteller', he was the greatest compiler of
saints' legends in the East; co-patron (with Ado of Vienne
and James of Voragine) of FEAST posts
* Giacomo della Marca (1476)
- a noted preacher, he continued the work of St Giovanni da
Capistrano in Austria and Hungary against the Hussites
