At Tunis, in Africa, the birthday of St. Felix, martyr, who, having confessed Christ, was sent to prison, his execution being deferred. But the next day he was found dead, as is related by St. Augustine, in his exposition of a psalm to the people on the feast of the saint. — At Theopolis, ten holy martyrs, who are reported to have been put to death by the Saracens. — At Barcelona, St. Severus, bishop and martyr, who had his head pierced with a nail, and thus received the crown of martyrdom for the faith. — In Phrygia, St. Atticus. — At Berg, the departure from this life of St. Winoc, abbot, who wasrenowned for virtues and miracles, and for a long time served his brethren, even those who were subject to him. — At Fundi, in Campania, St. Felix, monk. — At Limoges, in Aquitaine, St. Leonard, confessor, disciple of the blessed bishop Remigius, who was born of a noble family, and chose to lead a solitary life. He was celebrated for holiness and miracles, but his miraculous gift shone particularly in the deliverance of captives.
