John B. Manos
FEBRUARY 11, 2026 – ST. SEVERINUS, ABBOT OF AGAUNUM.
From curing lepers to healing kings with wardrobe changes, St. Severinus turned medieval Burgundy into his own saintly highlight reel. Spoiler: He saw death coming.
FEBRUARY 10, 2026 – ST. SCHOLASTICA, ABBESS.
Saint Scholastica prayed up a storm—literally—just to keep chatting with her brother. Her soul took flight like a dove. Heavenly drama included.
FEBRUARY 9, 2026 – ST. APOLLONIA AND THE MARTYRS OF ALEXANDRIA.
Fire roared, judges trembled, and a fifteen-year-old outwitted his killers. Alexandria’s martyrs turned terror into legend—because nothing says devotion like leaping into flames.
FEBRUARY 8, 2026 – ST. JOHN OF MATHA.
Saint John of Matha ditched riches to free slaves, face pirates, and MacGyver his cloak into a sail. Holiness with high-seas flair.
FEBRUARY 7, 2026 – ST. ROMUALD, ABBOT.
Romuald fled dueling dads, sassy monks, and devilish temptations. He found forests, visions, and a whole order of white-robed hermits. Wild times in 1027.
FEBRUARY 6, 2026 – ST. DOROTHY, VIRGIN, MARTYR.
A virgin saint, a sarcastic lawyer, and an angel with apples and roses—St. Dorothy’s heavenly comeback is the ultimate divine mic drop in winter Cæsarea.
FEBRUARY 5, 2026 – ST. AGATHA, VIRGIN, MARTYR. THE MARTYRS OF JAPAN
St. Agatha faced tyrants, pot sherds, and worse with unshakable faith—her veil still guards volcanoes! A tale of guts, grace, and unexpected miracles.
FEBRUARY 4, 2026 – ST. JANE, OF VALOIS.
Banished princess, neglected wife, secret saint—Jane of Valois endured royal drama to start an order of nuns. Her crown hid a habit.
FEBRUARY 3, 2026 – ST. BLASE, BISHOP AND MARTYR.
Once a doctor, now a soul healer, St. Blase traded stethoscopes for sainthood, dodged pagans, cured throats, and—spoiler—lost his head for faith.
FEBRUARY 2, 2026 – THE PURIFICATION, COMMONLY CALLED CANDLEMAS-DAY.
Mary, sinless mom of the century, obeys the rules anyway—lamb swap, temple trip, and a prophecy that would make any mother gulp her tea.
