ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH
Saints celebrated on the 2nd of March
Saint Eraddus is said to have been a monk in England who later became archbishop of York. The Bollandists*, however, suggest that this saint, rather than being another bishop, is the same person as Saint Ceadda, who is venerated on that very day. (I. 125)
