Saints celebrated on the 21st of May
SAINT ORTARIUS, ABBOT OF LANDELLES
Saint Ortarius (Hortarius) was abbot at Landelles in Normandy. He lived before the sixth century, and was formerly invoked against gout. His alleged life story is no reliable source of information; it contains nothing but fabulous things. (vv. 36-38.)
