ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 2nd of November
BLESSED BOSA, BISHOP OF YORK
Blessed Bosa (Boxa, Bossa, Boso), a bishop of York in England, died in A.D. 686. Migne* lists him among the "saints" and states that his feast is celebrated on November 2, probably because he is venerated on that day in England.
Blessed Bosa is also commemorated on March 9.
