Saint of the day: Saint Chaeremon was the aged Bishop of Nilopolis when he and his Christian companions were forced to flee the persecutions of the Roman Emperor Decius. They were forced into the barren mountains of Arabia where none were seen or heard of again. Anyone who's been to Molineux knows how that feels.
