Project BLACK MAMBA

Today we remember Saint Juliana of Nicomedia (d. c. 304), martyred under the Emperor Diocletian: Martyr-link & Wikipedia-link.

Today we also remember Saint John Scholasticus (d. 577), Patriarch of Constantinople: Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.

Had 15 February not been a Sunday, we would have remembered Saint Claude de la Colombière, S.J. (1641-1682): Saint-link ūnus, Saint-link duo, & Wikipedia-link.

Scripture of the Day (Today)
