St. Eoban


Bishop of Utrecht

Church Catholic Church

Diocese Archdiocese of Utrecht

In office 753–754

Personal details

Died 5 June 754


Benedictine monk and martyr of Irish descent, a companion of Sts. Willibrord and Boniface. Eoban was martyred with Boniface at Dokkum, Holland.

Eoban (died 5 June 754 at Dokkum) was a companion of St. Boniface, and was martyred with him on his final mission. In Germany, he is revered as a bishop and martyr.

Biography

Little is known of Eoban apart from what the Vita Bonifatii says.[1] Apparently, he was an English priest who came to Germany together with St. Boniface. In 753, Willibald's Vita lists him as a Chorbishop. The Fulda martyrology mentions him as a bishop,[2] as does the Vita tertia Bonifatii.[3]

According to the Vita Bonifatii auctore Willibaldo, on the morning of 5 June 754, Boniface and 50 others, presumably including Eoban (none of the companions are mentioned by name in the Vita), were killed at Dokkum (The Netherlands) by pagan Frisians.[4] His cult was of some importance to English Catholics; he is included in the paintings made by Niccolò Circignani of English saints and martyrs in the English College, Rome.[4]

Veneration in Erfurt

After 756 the relics of the bishops of Utrecht Eoban and Adalar were transferred to Fulda, and buried next to St. Boniface. Before 1100 they had been then transferred to Erfurt. [5] Around this time the veneration of the companions of St. Boniface began in Erfurt.

The Sarcophagus containing the relics of the saints Adalar and Eoban in the Erfurt Cathedral is dated from about 1350.

His feast day as a saint is 7 July.

Feast day July 7

Venerated in Roman Catholic Church



A bishop of Milan, Italy, during the Lombard period. Ampelius made great missionary efforts among the Lombard people.

Ampelius (Latin: Ampelius, Italian: Ampelio) was Archbishop of Milan from 671 to 676. He is honoured as a saint in the Catholic Church.[1]

Life

Almost nothing is known about the life and the episcopate of Ampelius. He ruled the diocese of Milan in a period marked by the troubles due to the Lombards. Ampelius is remembered as man able to do miracles, but we have no detail about his acts.[2]

Goffredo da Bussero in the 15th century informs us that his feast day was the 8 February, possibly the date of his death.[1] His feast day is now celebrated on July 7 in the Roman Rite and on July 8 in the Ambrosian Rite.[3] He was buried in the Basilica of St. Simplician where his relics are still venerated under the main altar

Laurence Humphrey

Raised in a Protestant family, Laurence was known to be a studious and pious boy, spending his time with the Bible and other religious works. At the age of 18 he began arguing the faith with a local priest, Father Stanney – and soon wound up converting to Catholicism. He continued his studies, and spent his spare time visiting prisoners and the sick, teaching and catechizing.


In 1591, while delirious with a high fever and talking to himself, he called Queen Elizabeth I a heretic and a harlot. He was overheard by some local Protestants, and while still sick, Laurance was jailed in Winchester, England for treason. At trial he swore that he did not remember speaking ill of the queen, but would not call his accusers liars, admitted openly and proudly of being Catholic, and so was condemned for treason and executed. Martyr.


புனித ஹம்ஸ்பிரே லாரன்ஸ் (1572-1591)

இவர் இங்கிலாந்து நாட்டிலுள்ள ஹம்ஸ்பியர் என்ற இடத்தில் பிறந்தவர்.

இவருடைய பெற்றோர் புராட்டஸ்டன்ட் திருஅவையைச் சார்ந்தவர்கள். இவர் இங்கிலாந்து நாட்டில் மறைப்பணி ஆற்றிவந்த இயேசு சபை அருள்பணியாளர்களின் எடுத்துக்காட்டான வாழ்வால் தொடப்பட்டு, கத்தோலிக்கத் திருஅவைக்கு மாறினார்.

இதற்குப் பிறகு இவர் திருவிவிலியத்தை ஆழமாக வாசிப்பதும், தான் வாசித்ததை மக்களுக்கு எடுத்துச் சொல்வதுமாக இருந்தார்.

இந்நிலையில், இவர் அப்போது இங்கிலாந்து நாட்டை ஆண்டு வந்த முதலாம் எலிசபெத் என்ற அரசியினுடைய துன்மாதிரியான வாழ்க்கையை நேரடியாகவே சுட்டிக்காட்டினார். இதனால் இவர் கைது செய்யப்பட்டு, தூக்கிலிடப்பட்டுக் கொல்லப்பட்டார்.


இவர் இறக்கும்போது இவருக்கு வயது வெறும் 19 தான். இவருக்குத் திருத்தந்தை பதினோறாம்  பயஸ், 1929ஆம் ஆண்டு புனிதர் பட்டம் கொடுத்தார்.
