ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 18th of September
SAINT ESTRILLUS, BISHOP
Saint Estrillus is listed as a Danish bishop, of whom, by the way, no further details are handed down to us. The Bollandists* reckon that, in fact, the entry may be referring to Saint Eskillus, Archbishop of Lund, whose memory is being celebrated on April 10. (V. 756)
