SAINT FEAST DAY FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH Saints celebrated on the 18th of March   WELCOME! SAINT TETRICUS, BISHOP OF LANGRES Saint Tetricus, a son of Bishop Gregory  (Gregorius) of Langres and his wife Armentaria, became his father's successor to the episcopal see in 541. For his deceased father he built a magnificent tomb. Judging by the many churches, altars and monasteries he consecrated [as documented in the church archives] Tetricus was an extremely active bishop and also took an active part in the synods held in his time. Since he eventually needed a coadjutor because of his old age and increasing frailty [he suffered a stroke],  Munderic was assigned to him as such with the right of succession.

Zeal in the preaching office, strict discipline towards the clergy subordinate to him, and piety and charity were the pillars of his holy life.  An unworthy clergyman, the Archdeacon Regenfridus, murdered him in his sleep. Mabillon * states that Tetricus' death occurred in A.D. 709.  One of the astonishing anectdotes of his life runs thus: following the request of the rebellious son of King Chlotar III, Chramnus, Tetricus proclaimed his sad end in three passages from Scripture, which he opened one after the other. The passages in question were: Isaiah 5: 4. 5. Matthew 7:26 and 1 Thessalonians 5: 3,...
