Saint CAPRAIS, higoumène de Lérins (430 ou 433).
Born in Gaul; died c. 430. Saint Caprasius retired to the island of Lerins to live as a hermit. He wasn't alone for long. Soon he was joined by Saint Honoratus and his elder brother Saint Venantius. Together they travelled to the East to visit the monastic colonies there. Venantius died in Greece; the other two returned to Lerins, where Saint Honoratus founded the famous abbey, and on his being appointed bishop of Arles, he was succeeded by Caprasius as abbot

St. Ronan of Kilmaronen, Bishop
Main feastday is 7 February.
Saint Ronan, a Scottish bishop of Kilmaronen, has erroneously been identified as the Irish monk mentioned by the Venerable Bede as the defender of the Roman calculation for the date of Easter at the Synod of Whitby. St. Ronan's Well at Innerleithen, Peeblesshire, was popularised by one of Sir Walter Scott's novels. According to tradition, Ronan came into the valley and drove out the devil. This event is remembered annually at the end of "Saint Ronan's Games" in July when a schoolboy, given a pastoral staff, is chosen to represent the saint as he cleeks the devil
