Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Menology of England and Wales; Or Brief Memorials of the Ancient British and English Saints, 1887: Arranged According to the Calendar, Together With the Martyrs of the 16th and 17th Centuries The present work has been written, in conformity with instructions received from the Bishops, on occasion of their annual Conference in the year 1882. Their Lordships, with the object of promoting a more general devotion towards the Saints of our country, resolved in the first place to apply to the Holy See for a considerable addition to the number of proper festivals in the Breviary and Missal; and secondly, to take measures for the compilation of a Calendar, for the use of the faithful at large, which should contain some short notice, as far as authentic records permit, of all the Saints connected by birth, or by their labours, or by death, with the present Ecclesiastical Province of Westminster. The former part of this resolution was carried into effect without delay; and we have now the consolation of celebrating annually the festivals of many of those servants of God who are most prominent in the history of the English Church. The Menology here offered to the reader is to be considered as an attempt, however incomplete, to fulfil the latter part of their Lordships´ pious intention.
