Lentorama 2018: Second String Saints

Day 21 - Geminianus

It always helps to know people. Geminianus found his way onto the calendar through association with Saint Lucy, but found his way off because he was determined to be fictitious. There is an unrelated Saint Geminianus, but it looks like he lived well after Lucy died, which I suppose wouldn't completely prevent some sort of confusion connecting the two. Maybe Geminianus was just a lot more popular of a name in the fourth century.
