  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER Saints celebrated on the 5th of September WELCOME! SAINT HERAIS, VIRGIN AND MARTYR Saint Heraïs [Herais], Virgin and Martyr suffered near Alexandria [in Antinoe] under Emperor Maximian - that is, about a hundred years later than the aforementioned Saint Heraïs . She was killed after cruel torments, but cannot be determined whether she eventually met her end by the sword, as some hagiographers say, or by fire, as others claim. According to tradition, she was the daughter of a priest named Peter and was born at Tama in Egypt. The  Bollandists * assume that the name Rhais [Rais] - by which she is also listed in some sources - is a corruption of the original name Heraïs .

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN OCTOBER Saints celebrated on the 9th of October WELCOME! BLESSED AARON, ARCHBISHOP OF KRAKOW Aaron was born in France and belonged to the Benedictine Congregation of Cluny under the holy Abbot Odilo . There he distinguished himself by such virtue and learning that his superiors appointed him the first abbot of the monastery in Krakow [Kraków], which had been newly founded by  Casimir I and for which the king had specifically requested monks from Cluny. Soon thereafter, the king himself raised him to the rank of Archbishop of Krakow. The new archbishop was held in such high esteem by the cathedral chapter of his see that they not only admitted all his successors in the abbacy as honorary members but also adopted Aaron's family coat of arms - three golden crowns on a silver background - as the chapter's own coat of arms; the cathedral chapter of Vilnius did the same. Bucelin’s Menologium Benedictinum * (Part II) lists him as Blessed Aaron, Archbishop ...

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL Saints celebrated on the 16th of April WELCOME! SAINT MARCIAN AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS One source mentions  another Saint Marcian on April. Saint Marcian (Marcianus) and Companions, Martyrs. This Saint Marcianus is listed on April 16 alongside six companions in the older Roman Martyrology* , though without any indication of when or where they suffered martyrdom.

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JULY Saints celebrated on the 7th of July WELCOME! BLESSED JULIA, VIRGIN AND ABBESS OF TRIER Julia, commemorated on July 7, was a virgin of Trier mentioned by Grevenus *, though the  Bollandists * are unable to provide reliable information about her. Upon further research, we discovered that in his work, Bucelin * lists only one Julia, whom he designates as "Blessed" on September 17; she was the third abbess of the Horreen or Orreen (Horreum) convent in Trier and died around the year 730. She is likely the one referred to here. In Zedler* (XLV. 723) , she is accorded the title of "Saint" and is likewise identified as the third abbess (II. 450).
