Saint of the day: Saint Beuno, the patron saint of healthy cattle, was famed for restoring severed heads. These included the heads of St Winifred and a bride who'd been beheaded by her new husband. Not one to take sides, Beuno also restored the head of the bridegroom after the bride's family had caught up with him.
