Lentorama 2010: Two Millennia of Pointy Hats
Day 3: St. Telesphorus (126-137, give or take a year on both ends)
Again, we don't have many facts about Telesphorus outside of him being Greek and having served as pope during the reigns of the Roman emperors Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. Traditionally, he's credited with popularizing midnight mass at Christmas, celebrating Easter on Sunday, the seven week period of Lent, and the singing of the Gloria at the start of mass. That seems like a lot for one guy.
