Saints Facundus and Primitivus are venerated as Christian martyrs. According to tradition, they were Christian natives of León who were tortured and then beheaded on the banks of the River Cea. According to an account of their martyrdom, after the two saints were beheaded, milk and blood gushed from their necks.

Veneration :

The town of Sahagún arose around the Benedictine monastery dedicated to the two saints. The name Sahagún putatively derives from an abbreviation and variation on the name San Fagun ("Saint Facundus").

The 12th-century work known as The Guide for the Pilgrim to Santiago de Compostela states:

“Furthermore, the bodies of Facundus and Primitivus must be visited, whose basilica was constructed by Charlemagne.”

✠ St. Francis Fasani ✠

Italian Friar:

Born: Giovanniello Fasani

Lucera, Foggia, Kingdom of Naples

Died: November 29, 1742

Feast: November 27

Patronage: Lucera

Saint Francis Anthony Fasani, was an Italian friar of the Order of Conventual Friars Minor who has been declared a saint by the Catholic Church.

He was a friend of another Conventual friar, the Blessed Antonio Lucci.

St. Francesco (Francis) Antonio Fasani was born as Giovanneillo in Lucera, Italy in 1681, the son of Giuseppe Fasani and Isabella Della Monaca. He entered the Conventual Franciscans in 1695 and took the names of St. Francis and St. Anthony.

St. Francesco (Francis) Antonio Fasani was born as Giovanneillo in Lucera, Italy in 1681, the son of Giuseppe Fasani and Isabella Della Monaca. He entered the Conventual Franciscans in 1695 and took the names of St. Francis and St. Anthony. He spent much of his time studying and was ordained a priest 10 years after entering the order. He then taught philosophy to younger friars, served as the guardian of his friary, and later became provincial of his order. When his term of office as provincial ended, Francesco became a novice-master, and eventually pastor in his hometown.

In all his various ministries, he was loving, devout, and penitential. He was a sought-after confessor and preacher. One witness at the canonical hearings regarding Francesco’s holiness testified, "In his preaching he spoke in a familiar way, filled as he was with the love of God and neighbour; fired by the Spirit, he made use of the words and deed of Holy Scripture, stirring his listeners and moving them to do penance."

Francesco showed himself a loyal friend of the poor, never hesitating to seek from benefactors what was needed. He was also a mystic, known for his deep prayer life and supernatural gifts, and was known to levitate while praying. The people of Lucera were known to compare him with St. Francis of Assisi, from whom he derived his name. He died in 1742 and was canonized in 1986.

Exiled for his beliefs from his native province, he lived at Nagasaki until his condemnation and beheading, He was martyred along with ten companions. 

 St. Seachnall Feastday: November 27 Death: 457 Bishop and disciple of St. Patrick. In 433, he was named to be the first bishop of Dunsaugli, Meath. He was later the assistant bishop to the metropolitan in Armagh. In honor of St. Patrick, Seachnall composed the first Latin poem of the Irish Church, the hymn Audites, Omnes Amantes Deum. For the 15th-century Greek–Venetian diplomat and humanist, see Niccolò Sagundino. Saint Secundinus (fl. 5th century), or Sechnall (Modern Irish: Seachnall) as he was known in Irish, was founder and patron saint of Domhnach Sechnaill, Co. Meath, who went down in medieval tradition as a disciple of St Patrick and one of the first bishops of Armagh.[1] Historians have suggested, however, that the connection with St Patrick was a later tradition invented by Armagh historians in favour of their patron saint and that Secundinus is more likely to have been a separate missionary, possibly a companion of Palladius.[1] Background and sources Little is known about the saint and his cult. His foundation is Domnach Sechnaill ('Church of Sechnall'),[2][3] now Dunshaughlin (Co. Meath), not far from Tara, and to judge by the use of the toponymic element domnach (from Latin dominicum), the church is likely to be early.[4] T.M. Charles-Edwards suggests that the site may have belonged originally to the province of Leinster rather than Mide, but that the political geography had changed by the 8th century, when much of southern Brega was divided between different septs of the Síl nÁedo Sláine. By that time, Domnach Sechnaill lay in the kingdom of the Uí Chernaig, close to the royal crannóg seat in Loch nGabor, as did the churches of Trevet and Kilbrew.[4] Linguistic arguments in favour of the early date of the saint's arrival and his foundation have also been advanced with respect to the saint's name in Latin and Irish. The Late Latin name Secundinus was a common one across Latin-speaking parts of Europe. His name was borrowed into the vernacular as Sechnall, according to a pattern for which David N. Dumville proposes the following stages of development: Secundinus > *Sechundinus > *Sechundīnəs > *Sechundīn > *Sechndən > *Sechnən and finally by the 8/9th century, > *Sechnəl.[5] If correct, this pattern lends further credence to a 5th-century floruit of the saint.[6] Traditions about the saint are witnessed by variety of sources, including Irish annals, the Félire Óengusso and other martyrologies, the Tripartite Life of St Patrick and a list of the coarbs of St Patrick. Secundinus is also the ascribed author of an early Latin hymn in praise of St Patrick, known as Audite Omnes Amantes ('Hear ye, All lovers') or the Hymn of Secundinus written in trochaic septenarius, the earliest copy of which is found in the late 7th-century Antiphonary of Bangor. The ascription to Secundinus, whether true or false, is commonplace in medieval sources, occurring as early as in the Félire Óengusso,[7] and notably appears in the Irish preface preserved in some manuscript copies of the Hymn. This preface adds some biographical detail, including a legend about Sechnall's quarrel and reconciliation with Patrick leading up to the composition of the hymn. A hagiographical Life was written for the saint, but it comes down to us only in a 17th-century manuscript compilation donated by Irish Jesuit Henry FitzSimon to the Bollandists.[1][8] The manuscript is found in the Bollandist collection of the Royal Library of Brussels under the shelfmark MS 8957-8.[8] Life Srúaim n-ecnai co n-áni, Sechnall mind ar flathae, ro gab ceol, sóer solad, molad Pátric Machae. A stream of wisdom with splendour, Sechnall diadem of our lords, has chanted a melody — noble profit! — a praise of Patrick of Armagh — — Félire Óengusso (27 November) The Irish annals report that in 439, bishops Secundinus, Auxilius and Iserninus arrived in Ireland to the aid of St Patrick.[9][10] Muirchú also tells of the involvement of Auxilius and Iserninus, both possibly from Auxerre, but does not name Secundinus.[9] Later tradition, which is of uncertain provenance, appears to suggest that Secundinus and Auxilius were of Italian origin. Details to this effect are first given in the Irish preface to the Hymn of Secundinus as found in some manuscript versions of the Liber Hymnorum. It states that Secundinus was a son of Restitutus and St Patrick's sister Dar Ercae; in the Chronicon Scotorum the latter is named Culmana.[3][11] The preface cites a stanza by Armagh scholar Eochaid ua Flannacain (d. 1005) to assert that Restitutus belonged to the Lombards of Letha, a place-name which referred to Gaul but was sometimes confused with Latium.[12] In the stanza, Sechnall receives the paternal family name moccu Baird.[13] Although the presence of Lombards in Italy would be an anachronism, Thomas F. O'Rahilly considers it possible that Secundinus – and perhaps Auxilius, too – came from northern Italy.[12] Like the saint's own name, Restitutus was a popular Late Latin name in Christian Europe, but in this case there is no way of telling whether Patrician historians were using genuine information or filling in gaps in the saint's genealogical dossier.[14] Some scholars have suggested that Secundinus preceded Saint Patrick in Ireland. In his lecture The Two Patricks, O'Rahilly argues that Secundinus, possibly a native of northern Italy (see above), was one of three bishops who arrived in Ireland in 439 to assist Palladius, whose mission had begun in 431 and who was known in Ireland as Patricius (leading to confusion with the later Saint Patrick).[12] In 441 Palladius was recalled to Rome to be examined by the newly elected Pope Leo I, leaving Secundinus in charge of the Church in Ireland. He became known as the first Christian bishop to die on Irish soil.[12] Dumville allows for the possibility that Secundinus participated in the Palladian mission, but is more hesitant.[6] The development of Patrician legend also saw Secundinus becoming gradually more involved in the process whereby the see of Armagh received the relics of Saints Peter and Paul. St Patrick, according to his Tripartite Life, entrusted his see to Secundinus when he went to Rome to obtain the relics, while the preface to the Hymn tells that Patrick had sent him off to obtain them in person.[15][16] Secundinus is said to have died in 447 or 448, aged 75.[12][17] Commemoration The saint's name was familiar enough in Mide to give rise to a number of derivative personal names, notably Máel Sechnaill (attested since the 9th century) and later also Gilla Sechnaill.[6] Despite the evidence for a medieval Life, there is little in the sources to suggest that Sechnall was the subject of a flourishing cult during much of the Middle Ages. His feast-day is 27 November.[1][18] Bl. Romanus Feastday: November 27 Death: 1619 Japanese martyr. Born at Omura, he was a Japanese layman of the royal clan of Firando, who was beheaded at Nagasaki with ten other martyrs.

 Bl. Michael Takeshita Feastday: November 27 Death: 1619 Jesuit martyr of Japan. Michael was a member of a high noble Japanese family and was seized during the persecution against the Church. He was beheaded with ten companions at Nagasaki at the age of twenty-five. Pope Pius IX beatified him in 1867.

 Bl. Matthias Kosaka & Matthias Nakano Feastday: November 27 Death: 1619 Two martyrs of Japan. They were both members of a noble house of the country. Arrested in Omura, they were taken to Nagasaki where they were beheaded. Both were beatified in 1867.

He was then thrown to wild animals in the amphitheatre, but instead of attacking him, they knelt in front of him. Laverius was thrown back into this cell, but an angel freed him during the night and ordered him to travel to Grumentum (modern Grumento Nova, Italy).

Saint Josaphat Also known as Ioasaph, Iasaph, Joasaph, Yudasaf

Profile With Saint Barlaam, one of the protagonists in a Christianized retelling of the story of Siddhartha Buddha that was popular in the Middle Ages. Many people in India were converted by Thomas the Apostle. Astrologers foretold that the son of King Abenner would one day become a Christian. To prevent this, Abenner began persecuting the Church, and had his son placed under house arrest. In spite of these precautions, Barlaam, a hermit of Senaar, met him, and converted him to the Faith. Abenner tried to pervert Josaphat, but failed, and shared the government with him. Abenner himself later became a Christian, abdicated the throne, and became a hermit. Josaphat governed for a time, then abdicated, too. He travelled to the desert, found Barlaam, and spent his remaining years as a holy hermit. Years after their deaths, the bodies Josaphat and Barlaam were brought to India; their joint grave became renowned by miracles. Representation • with Saint Barlaam • praying in a cave

இவரைப்பற்றிய வரலாறு அதிகம் அறியப்படவில்லை. இவர் இளம் வயதிலேயே திருமணம் செய்யப்பட்டவர் என்று கூறப்படுகின்றது. தூரின் நாட்டு அரசர் முதல் ஹெட்டான் (Hetan I) என்பவர் இவரின் கணவர். பில்ஹில்டிஸ் தன் கணவரையும் அவரின் குடும்ப உறுப்பினர்கள் அனைவரையும் மனந்திருப்பி, கிறிஸ்துவ மறையை பின்பற்றச் செய்தார். என்று சொல்லப்படுகின்றது. பில்ஹில்டிஸின் கணவர் இறந்தபிறகு விதவையான இவர் தன் மாமா பேராயராக இருந்ததால் பல விதங்களிலும் அவருக்கு உதவி செய்துள்ளார். 

பின்னர் ஆல்ட்முயூன்ஸ்டர் சென்று அங்கு ஒரு துறவற மடத்தில் சேர்ந்து பல நாட்கள் கழித்து துறவியானார் என்று கூறப்படுகின்றது. இவர் இறக்கும் வரை மிகப் பக்தியுள்ள சிறந்த துறவியாக வாழ்ந்துள்ளார். இவர் இறந்தபிறகு எங்கு புதைக்கப்பட்டார் என்று கண்டறிய இயலவில்லை. 

செபம்:

உயிரளிக்கும் இறைவா! துறவியான பில்ஹில்டிஸின் வழியாக நீர் எம் திருச்சபைக்கு ஆற்றிய நன்மைக்களுக்காக உமக்கு நன்றி நவில்கின்றோம். இன்றைய உலகில் வாழும் அரசர் குடும்பங்களை ஆசீர்வதித்து நீர் தொடர்ந்து வழிநடத்தியருள வேண்டுமென்று தந்தையே உம்மை இறைஞ்சுகின்றோம்.
