June 12 - On this day we celebrate two saints answering to the same Guy. The first one is Guy Vignotelli or Pagnotelli known as Guy of Cortona, born in 1185. Originally from Spain, he lived near Cortona. He was noble, but of very modest condition, and renowned for his charity.

His meeting with St. Francis of Assisi, to whom he once offered hospitality, was decisive. He decided to leave his estate to enter the Order of Franciscan Friars Minor and retired to a cave near Cortona to live in poverty and preach the Gospel and penance to the local people. He died in 1245 and his remains lie inside the Duomo of Cortona. Guy of Cortona was declared a saint by Vox populi.

The second is Saint Guy or Saint Vitus or St. Vith (4th century), martyr and auxiliary saint. Traditional festival (Vidovdan) on June 15 or recently in the West on June 12. Son of a Sicilian pagan, he would have had Crescence as his nurse and Modeste as his tutor, who would have had him baptized without his father's knowledge. He tried unsuccessfully to convert the son of Governor Valerian. After having miraculously escaped the ordeal, he would have ended up being martyred at the same time as Crescence and Modeste. Their relics are in the Church of Santa Maria del Rosario in Venice.
