Upon the 16th day of November, were born into the better life: 
_
At Canterbury, in England, the holy Confessor Edmund Rich, Archbishop of that see, who was driven into exile (at Pontigny) for his defense of the rights of his Church, and died a holy death near Provins, (in Champagne, in the year 1242,) and whose name Innocent IV enrolled among those of the Saints. 
In Africa, the holy martyrs Rufinus, Mark, Valerius, and their Companions. 
On the same day, the holy martyrs Elpidius, Marcellus, Eustochius, and their Companions. Elpidius was of the Senatorial Order, and steadfastly confessed the Christian faith in the presence of the Emperor Julian the Apostate. He and his Companions were first tied to unbroken horses, and so dragged about, but afterwards cast into the fire, and so achieved a glorious martyrdom, (in the fourth century.)
At Lyon, the holy Confessor Eucherius, Bishop of that see, a man of wonderful faith and teaching. He was of the noblest of the Senatorial Order, and adopted the life and dress of a monk. For a long while he shut himself up in a cave, where he served Christ in fastings and prayers. He was called through the revelation of an angel to occupy the See of Lyons, and was therein solemnly placed. (He died about the year 450.) 
At Padua, holy Fidentius, Bishop (of that see, in the year 168.) 
On the same day, (in the year 759,) the holy Othmar, Abbot (of St. Gall, in Switzerland.)
