I put this on FaceBook yesterday, and forgot to copy it here:
On the third day of All Saint's, my Auntie gave to me . . . an apology. Sorry, Nathan, there is no St. Nathan that I can find . . . but I did find a Nathalan and two Nathaniels. Since I like my Saints obscure, in honor of my nephew, Nathan, I will tell you about Blessed Nathalan.
Bl. Nathalan was a hermit and a bishop -- I would think that it would be difficult for a hermit to fulfill the episcopal obligations of a Bishop, but what do I know? He was born near Aberdeen, Scotland to a noble family. As a hermit, he was known for performing several miracles during a famine. Later he became Bishop of Tullicht and built churches and conducted missionary activities.
His feast day is January 19.
