  Saint Coleman  Coleman, suspected of being a spy, because his clothing and language were different while on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1012,  was  imprisoned, tortured, and finally hanged without a trial.  Lesson for our times - where listening to each other has become increasingly difficult ...  and whoever is different, looks or speaks differently, makes himself suspicious, causes fear, and can easily become the victim of prejudice.
