^His memory is preserved in the Synaxarion of Delehaye. He left behind a wife, children and relatives to become a monk. He wandered the desert, cities and villages, and came to Egypt, where he was found dead in a temple, carrying heavy irons upon him. When the people saw this they were amazed at his asceticism. Thus they constructed a wooden coffin where they placed his body along with the heavy irons that he wore in life.
^A missionary who enlightened the area around Pampeluna (Pamplona) in Navarre in Spain and then the area and city of Toulouse in France. He is venerated as the first Bishop of Toulouse. By tradition he was martyred in the persecution of Valerian by being fastened to a wild bull which dragged him about until he was torn to pieces.
^"At Toulouse, in the time of Decius, the holy bishop Saturninus, who was confined by the Pagans in the capitol of that city, and from the highest part of the building precipitated down the stairs; by which fall, having his head crushed, his brains dashed out and his whole body mangled, he rendered his worthy soul to our Lord."[9]
^According to tradition Saturninus was a priest in Rome, though born in Carthage. He and his deacon Sisinius were sentenced to hard labour and subsequently martyred. They were buried in the cemetery of St Thraso on the Salarian Way.
^"At Rome, on the Salarian road, the birthday of the holy martyr Saturninus, an aged man, and the deacon Sisinius, in the time of the emperor Maximian. After a long imprisonment, they were, by order of the prefect of the city, placed on the rack, distended with ropes, scourged with rods and whips garnished with metal, then exposed to the flames, taken down from the rack and beheaded."[9]
^A contemporary of St Brendan the Voyager and a disciple of St Finian at Clonard. His monastery of Birr was in Offaly in Ireland. He was a friend and advisor of St Columba, who saw the soul of St Brendan carried by angels to heaven at the moment of his repose.
^A number of churches in Wales are dedicated to him.
^"ST EGELWINE was a brother of Kenewalch, King of the West Saxons, but more illustrious for his eminent sanctity than for his royal birth. He was continually afflicted with sickness, but did not on that account relax his fervent resolution of serving God in Christian perfection. The holy man persevered in this course till his blessed death, and after that by his miracles and availing intercession continued to show himself the watchful protector of those who had recourse to him. The Abbey of Athelney was not erected until a later period; but it was there that the memory of St. Egelwine was held in especial veneration."[28]
