Yesterday we remembered Saint Leander of Seville (c. 534-c. 600), bishop: Saint-link ūnus, Saint-link duo, & Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: According to the sources cited above, at least one & up to three of St. Leander's siblings are also canonized saints, including the far-famed St. Isidore of Seville. I choose not to resist: Talk about a holy family!
