Great piece, thanks. Coincidentally I was reading the other day about two saints - can't quite remember their names but one began with B, Basillissa? - who were for centuries honoured as two women who gathered the earthly remains of St Paul after his martyrdom. As is the way these days, some modern people have decided there is little evidence for their existence, so they have been dumped from the calendar. However someone or some people must have done this, and the two great basilicas were undoubtedly built on the places of martyrdom so today I am thinking about these churches in light of those courageous people who were their foundations in a spiritual sense.
