Holy Father, I am typing these word from the stairs of an exceptionally overcrowded early train. I should feel frustrated and even angry but I actually feel serene, sharing thoughts with You. I am not sure why this train is a smaller replacement and I have to rejoice for having a job which also gladly pays for this travel. In an hour from now I will be sitting in another train taking me to the lovely town where my employer is. Until then, let’s share my optimism to my fellow LINE HOLDers. May they all feel as blessed as I do.

AGENDA

Today we celebrate Eulalia of Mérida.

Eulalia was a devout Christian virgin, aged 12–14, whose mother sequestered her in the countryside in AD 304 because all citizens were required to avow faith in the Roman gods. Eulalia ran away to the law court of the governor Dacian at Emerita, professed herself a Christian, insulted the pagan gods and emperor Maximian, and challenged the authorities to martyr her. The judge's attempts at flattery and bribery failed. Eulalia was then stripped by the soldiers, tortured with hooks and torches, and burnt at the stake, suffocating from smoke inhalation. She taunted her torturers all the while, and as she expired a dove flew out of her mouth. This frightened away the soldiers and allowed a miraculous snow to cover her nakedness, its whiteness indicating her sainthood. A shrine over Eulalia's tomb was soon erected. Veneration of Eulalia was already popular with Christians by 350; Prudentius' poem increased her fame and relics from her were distributed through Iberia. Bishop Fidelis of Mérida rebuilt a basilica in her honor around 560. Her shrine was the most popular in Visigothic Spain. Around 780 her body was transferred to Oviedo by King Silo. It lies in a coffin of Arab silver donated by Alfonso VI in 1075. In 1639, she was made patron saint of Oviedo.

THE NUMBER 1499

• 1499 = 17 x 88 + 3

From https://findthefactors.com/2020/08/08/1499-challenge-puzzle/

• 1499 is prime.
• 1499 is the difference of two consecutive squares: 750² – 749² = 1499
• oeis.org reminds us that 149, 199, and 499 are also prime numbers, so taking away one digit from 1499 always leaves a prime number.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000_(number)#1400_to_1499
