Saint of the day: Saint Vincent Ferrer was a bit of a mediaeval pin-up boy. He may have been a monk, but it didn't stop the ladies literally swooning over his good looks and powerful baritone voice. This may have had an effect on his ego, but when Vincent proclaimed himself "the Angel of Judgement" he was able to prove it by raising dead.
