January 26 Santoral Highlights Saint Timothy, Also Commemorates Saint Titus

El Norte de Castilla’s latest santoral entry upholds Spain’s name‑day custom with concise New Testament context.

Overview

  • Saint Timothy is presented as a key first‑century disciple closely linked to Paul, noted six times in Acts, seventeen in Pauline letters, and once in Hebrews.
  • Saint Titus is described as a Greek convert associated with Paul, a participant in the year 50 Council of Jerusalem, and a leader of the church in Crete.
  • The January 26 listing also includes Saint Agustín Erlandsön, Saint Teógenes the martyr, Blessed Miguel Kozal, and Blessed María de la Dive.
  • The entry explains the Spanish onomástica tradition, clarifying that a person’s name‑day follows the Catholic santoral and is distinct from a birthday.
  • The previous day’s santoral marked the Conversion of Saint Paul and listed additional memorials, including Saint Artemas and several lesser‑known figures.
