NORLYLA, BISHOP OF VERDEN - 22 MAY

 

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY

Saints celebrated on the 22 May

WELCOME!

NORLYLA, BISHOP OF VERDEN 

Norlyla (May 22, April 30), was allegedly the fourth bishop of Verden in Lower Saxony [Germany]. He is also called Nortilas, [Hortyla] and Nortulas. 

Camerarius describes him as a martyr and saint, probably erroneously, because there is none by that name on the official list of bishops of Verden. The Verden Chronicle names a Hortyla as the successor of St Tanco (Tanko) who died c. A.D. 808 as a martyr among the Saxons, so that the years that followed were assigned to Bishop Norlyla. It is not entirely sure whether Suibert [Swibrecht] was a bishop of Verden. Norlyla is mentioned by the Bollandists [hagiographers].

The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady.

He was master of arts in one of our universities; but going abroad to Douay, in Flanders, was received into the English college there, 1576, and made priest in 1577; and the year following sent upon the mission.
