OTHER SAINTLY PEOPLE REMEMBERED ON FEBRUARY 20
WILO, BISHOP - 20 FEBRUARY
Wilo (Vivilo) is remembered on February 20 and in some sources on February 19. He was bishop of Lorch (Passau, South Germany). His time in office is dated from 731 to 745 (not, as sometimes erroneously stated, 742). He appears in the records of the hagiographer Ferrarius with the title "saint", but [according to Stadler's Complete Encyclopedia of Saints] he enjoys no veneration.
SEDAR , MARTYR - 20 FEBRUARY
Sedar is mentioned by the Bollandists on February 20. Allegedly he was a martyr in Egypt.
COLCHUS - 20 FEBRUARY
Colchus (Colga) was the son of a certain Panechus in Ireland. He acquired the reputation of sage, and is said to be the very same to whom Alcuin wrote a letter.
