Tuirc was the author of a hymn on St. Brigid; he is believed to have been an abbot. His feast day
is 17 September. It is uncertain whether he is the same person as St. Brocan the scribe,
celebrated 8 July. Saints of this name are also mentioned on 1 January, 9 April, 27 June, and 25

Catholic Encyclopedia: Saints Basilissa
Several saints named Basilissa appear in martyrologies. We know next to nothing about any of them
except place of martyrdom, and sometimes the names of their spouses or companions in martyrdom.

Catholic Encyclopedia: Saints Basilides
Saints named Basilides are mentioned in old martyrologies on 10, 12, and 28 June. The first date
belongs to a Roman martyred on the Via Aurelia. The entry for June 12 appears to mix up several
stories, and this Basilides is most likely the same as the martyr of June 10. The third St.
Basilides was a soldier or court official martyred in Alexandria, who is mentioned in Eusebius's
Ecclesiastical History.

Catholic Encyclopedia: Saint Baldred
There is a St. Baldred, a Celt, bishop of Strathclyde, b. probably mid-sixth century, and said to
have been the immediate successor of St. Kentigern (Mungo) as bishop of Glasgow. Another St.
Baldred, also called Baltherus, was an Englishman, hermit and priest associated with the diocese of
Lindisfarne, who died in 756. Both the aforementioned saints are celebrated on 6 March. Finally,
some believe that the second St. Baldred is identical with St. Bilfritt or Bilfrid, a hermit
goldsmith whose work adorns the cover of the Gospels of St. Cuthbert (made 698-740).

Catholic Encyclopedia: Saint Balbina
There are at least two saints of this name venerated at Rome. The first, Balbina of Rome, was,
according to legend, the unmarried daughter of a martyr named Quirinus, and was buried in the
catacomb of Praetextatus. The second St. Balbina has a catacomb named after her.

For All the Saints: Saints of March 6
Covers St. Baldred, St. Balther, and St. Billfrith. If the first St. Baldred was the immediate
successor of St. Kentigern (d. 603), surely this profile is in error in saying that he died in 756.
