[UA] Re: Saint Cecil

[Erik]

Hmmm, Mister Teapot -

The Oxford Dictionary of Saints, fourth ed. (1997) lists Saint Cecilia, then
a Saint Cecilius, then moves on to good ol' Saint Cedd, the saxon sects
machine.  Cecilia was a she who held out on Valerian in the 5th century.
Here's the writeup on Saint Cecilius:

"...bishop of Grenada (date uncertain).  All that can certainly be said
about him is that he was the first bishop of Grenada.  Legend claimed he was
one of seven disciples of James the great, supposedly consecrated by Peter
the Apostle to be bishops in Spain.  In reality, as in France, apostolic
origins cannot be claimed for the early bishoprics.  Cecilius more probably
belongs to the 3rd century than the first.  Feast: 1 February (or 15 May)."

In other words: go nuts, man.
