21 October, The Roman Martyrology

Duodécimo Kaléndas Novémbris Luna quinta décima Anno Dómini 2021

October 21st 2021, the 15th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

At Cologne, the holy Ursula and her Companions, who, for their steadfastness in Christianity and chastity, were massacred by the Huns, and so closed their earthly life by martyrdom.
Very many of their bodies are buried at Cologne.
In Cyprus, the holy Abbot Hilarion, of whom holy Jerome hath written the life, full of graces and wonders.
At Ostia, the holy martyr Asterius, a Priest who suffered under the Emperor Alexander, as is written in the acts of the passion of the blessed Pope Kallistus.
At Nicomedia, the holy martyrs Dasius, Zoticus, Caius, and twelve others, soldiers, who were diversely tormented, and then drowned in the sea, (under the Emperor Diocletian.) At Maronia, in Syria, near Antioch, (in the fourth century,) the holy monk Malchus.
At Lyon, holy Viator, the servant of the blessed Justus, Bishop of Lyon.
At Laon, holy Cilinia, mother of the blessed Remy, Bishop of Reims.
V. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
