Happy feasts of Our Lady, our Mother Mary, under the titles of Our Lady of Chartres, and also the feasts of Pope St Anacletus and Emperor St Henry II!

1. MAJOR FEAST: The holy prophets Joel and Esdras. (RM)


2. Notre Dame de Chartres or Our Lady of Chartes.
   
   

   Our Lady of Chartres

   «In 100 B.C., the Druids of Gaul learned, perhaps from travelling Jewish merchants, of the Isaian prophecy of the Virgin that would bear a child, and erected, on the order of their king Priscus, in one of their sacred caves, a statue of a lady seated on a throne and holding a child on her knees in the forest on the plains of Beance, to which, after the Roman conquest, was added the Latin inscription "Virgin pariturae" ("To the Virgin who is to bring forth.") St Potentianus, second Bishop of Sens, whom the Apostle St Peter had sent into France, stopped at Chartres, where he blessed and exorcised this image, and dedicated the cavern as a church, in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 46.»
   
   Another Narrative:
   
   «To Chartres belongs the distinction of being not only the oldest shrine in France, but also — in all probability — the oldest shrine of Our Lady in the world. It is actually pre-Christian, like the Athenians' "altar to the unknown god" and was dedicated to the Virgin who would bring forth a son, at least a century before the birth of Christ. Later, it was a pilgrimage site due to a well located there, "the Well of Strong Saints," for the bodies of many early Christian martyrs had been cast into that well. So Chartres was a site of pilgrimages long before the construction of the beautiful Gothic cathedral that now occupies the spot. Eleven centuries later, 1140, Christians were returning from the first crusade with new Byzantine dignity added to their idea of the kind of art demanded for the veneration of royalty. In 1144 "men began to laden themselves with stone and wood… and drag them to the site of the church, the towers of which were then a-building. It was a spectacle the like of which he who has seen will never see again." Rich and poor alike put their strength and their possessions into the work for Our Lady of Chartres. The result is still standing, as strong as the moment it was consecrated in 1260 — an architectural marvel that makes men gape in admiration. Eric Gill listed the sight of it among the five most awe-filled moments of his life. It is not the first church built at the site, as there were at least five previous structures built there during the previous centuries. Chartres is the court were Mary, Our Lady of Chartres, sits enthroned beside her Son, receiving her subjects, turning peasant pilgrims into lovers of the beautiful, turning crusty scholars, come to see about some detail, into romantic fools at her feet. Mary sits above the southern door, crowned and robed and sceptered like an eastern empress; Christ sits above the central door, not as Judge but like Mary, a triumphant benevolent sovereign and long lean figures of kings, queens, saints and prophets stand with oriental dignity, lining the columns of the doorways like courtiers attendant on a king and a queen. The windows above depict the Passion of Christ, Mary enthroned and the Tree of Jesse — windows better than any made by a Byzantine genius. This Cathedral of Notre Dame is probably the most beautiful Gothic church in the world; in its crypt is the shrine of Our Lady Underground, in the choir, a statue of Our Lady of the Pillar. A reputed garment of Mary's, the Sancta Camisa, is preserved in the treasury. This garment was acquired in 876, and is believed to be the tunic that the Blessed Virgin wore at the time of Christ's birth. It is believed the garment was given to the church by Emperor St Charlemagne. Kings and princes, popes and prelates, saints and sinners, thousands after thousands of ordinary people have come here on pilgrimages for seven hundred years. Miracle upon miracle has been the response to their faith, their confidence and their ardent prayers to Our Lady of Chartres.»


3. Our Lady of the Mystical Rose.
   
   «From the year 1738, in the diocese of Speyer in Germany, in the Shrine of Rosenberg, the miraculous image of the "Mystical Rose" has been venerated. Three roses, one white, one red, and one gold, are painted on the pedestal that holds the image. Her luminous halo that surrounds her contains 13 golden roses, which makes us recall that Our Lady is honored each July 13 as Mary, Mystical Rose.»


4. Madonna del Soccorso or Madonna di Castellammare del Golfo, July 13, 1718.
   
   «The Nostra Principalissima Patrona or Our Principal Patroness. The historical recalling of the Madonna del Soccorso, Our Lady of Succour. On July 13, 1718, when Castellammare was in the middle of the war between King Philip V of Spain and Amadeus of Savoy for the possession of Sicily, a Spanish ship, chased by 5 ships of the English Infidels, sheltered below the castle, which defended it. The English fleet attacked by setting fire to the town: the people, imploring the Virgin Mary as their Patroness, escaped. But suddenly the Madonna, in a white dress, is said to have appeared with a host of angels from the Monte delle Scala. This apparition reportedly caused the English Infidels to flee in terror. This event is recalled by celebrations by the townsfolk over July 13 and 14 annually.»


5. Our Lady of the Rosary at Fatima.
   
   «July 13, 1917: Third apparition of Mary in Fatima. She allowed the children to see hell, after which she requested devotion to her Immaculate Heart, the consecration of Russia, and the communion of reparation on the first Saturday of the month.»



Collective of Martyrs and Iso-Martyrs

6. The Holy Iso-Martyrs of Roman Africa now Tunisia Saints Eugenius, the faithful and virtuous bishop of Carthage and all the clergy of that church, to the number of about five hundred or more, among whom were many small children employed as lectors. In the persecution of the Vandals, under the Arian king Hunneric, they were subjected to scourging and starvation, and driven into a most painful banishment, which they bore with joy for God's sake. In their number were also two distinguished personages, the archdeacon Salutaris, and Muritta, occupying the second rank among the ministers of the church. Both had three times confessed the faith, and were illustrious by their sturdy perseverance in Christianity. (RM)


7. Martyrs of Ariacum Saints Maura and Brigit, English princesses from Northumbria, on a pilgrimage to Rome, at Ariacum now Sainte-Maure, near Balagny-sur-Therain, they were assaulted by pagan Frankish bandits, who killed them, not long after St Martin of Tours had died. They were buried right there, and the Christian people began to venerate them as martyrs. In the middle of the 7th century, Saint Batuda, the wife of King Clovis II, who was originally English or a Breton, tried to transfer the relics of Saints Maura and Brigit to the monastery of Chelles; but a divine intervention prevented it, so that the relics remained in Nogent-les-Vierges, in Oise, in the Touraine, where a sanctuary was built for them in 1185. King St Louis of France was very devoted to these two saints and a great benefactor of this sanctuary, to which he once went on a pilgrimage. In Beauvais the saints were credited for the end of an epidemic, and with it the devotion that the people professed to them increased even more. According to St Gregory of Tours, his predecessor, St Euphronius, had heard of a mysterious light that shone on a hill and of the apparition of two maidens who affirmed that it was necessary to build a chapel on the hill because they were buried on it. St Euphronius personally visited the site, and there heaven revealed to him that the virgins were called Maura and Brigitta. The relics were indeed discovered and the chapel was erected. Such were the beginnings of the cult that still exists in the Touraine. A feast is also kept for them at Tours on January 28.


8. The Holy Martyrs of Chemnitz in Lusatia Saint Arno, bishop of Wurzburg, and Companions, martyred by the pagan Czechs. On November 29, 854, Arno ascended the episcopal chair in Wurzburg. He led this church at the time when Lothar, Charles II., Charles III. and Arnulf ruled the German Empire. During the reign of King Louis, the Czechs and Wends invaded Bavaria and wreaked havoc. King Louis marched against these enemies and Bishop Arno accompanied him on this journey. In the fight against them, the king's son, Carloman, was defeated, and 6000 slain Bavarians covered the battlefield. Under Arnulf, the ducal power of the Bishop of Würzburg over a certain area of Eastern Franconia was confirmed. Bishop Arno rebuilt the cathedral, which had burned down under his ancestor Gottwald, and inaugurated it in a most solemn manner. During this ceremony, the relics of St Kilian were carried around in procession and many miracles occurred. The mercy of the pious bishop was especially revealed in the great famine of 890 towards the poor of the city and of the whole diocese. He then had to take to the field with Emperor Arnulf against the Duke of Czechia Zwentibold. The duke was defeated and thrown back into the Meissenerland. Arnulf pursued him there, to his great disaster, because there he had no secure footing. It was the feast of St Margaret when Arnulf had a service in his camp. Bishop Arno stood at the altar. Suddenly Duke Zwentibold's soldiers rushed into the camp, caused a terrible slaughter in it, and stabbed the bishop at the altar. This happened on July 13, 891. The body of the bishop was taken to Wurzburg and buried there at the altar of the holy apostles Peter and Paul. (BS Bavaria Sancta)


9. The Holy Martyrs of Cyprus Saints Heliophotus, Epaphroditus, Ammon, Choulelaius, Eusthenius and Companions, three hundred Germans who had retired to the island of Cyprus, to practice asceticism in various places of the island at the time of the Crusades. According to local tradition, they were attacked by the Muslim Infidels then occupying Cyprus, who wanted them to renounce God. They refused, were subjected to torture and then beheaded. They were buried in the caves where they had retired and were not found until a long time later.


10.
