GOLDMAS OR FEAST OF THE FIVE WOUNDS ("CINCO CHAGAS") OF OUR LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST: According to an Ambiscamnist "Fr. Joao Silveira," a "Neo-Conservative" or "NeoCon" "priest" (questionable orders), and as he's  stated on his Facebook profile, & on his blog, February 13 is, on pre-1962 missals, this Feast in & for Portugal. I searched, & couldn't find corroboration. What I did find is that there is, or was, no one fixed date for this feast, worldwide; Evora in Portugal, & it's environments, celebrated it on Feb. 6, Lisbon after Ash-Wednesday in March, rest of the world, in March, or July. (Catholic Encyclopedia; Wikipedia). 

ROMAN MARTYROLOGY: 

At Antioch, the holy prophet Agabus, of whom mention is made by St. Luke, in the Acts of the Apostles.

At Ravenna, in the time of the emperor Decius, and the governor Quinctian, the Saints Fusca, virgin, and her nurse, Maura, who endured many afflictions, were transpierced with a sword, and thus ended their martyrdom.

At Meletine, in Armenia, in the persecution of the same Decius, St. Polyeuctus, martyr, who, after many sufferings, obtained the crown of martyrdom.

At Lyons, St. Julian, martyr.

At Todi, St. Benignus, martyr.

At Rome, Pope St. Gregory II., who strenuously opposed the impiety of Leo the Isaurian, and sent St. Boniface to preach the Gospel in Germany.

At Angers, the demise of the holy bishop Lucinius, a man venerable for his sanctity.

At Lyons, St. Stephen, bishop and confessor.

At Rieti, the abbot St. Stephen, a man of wonderful patience, at whose death, as is related by the blessed Pope Gregory, the holy angels were present and visible to all.

At Prato, in Tuscany, St. Catharine de Ricci, a Florentine virgin, of the Order of St. Dominic, replenished with Heavenly gifts, whom Pope Benedict XIV inscribed on the catalogue of holy virgins. She died rich in virtues and merits on the 2nd of this month, but her festival is celebrated on this day.

Exsurge Domine, et Liberal Nos A Malo! «Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua; et exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum; et exsurge, Domine Deus meus, in praecepto quod mandasti; et synagoga populorum circumdabit te: et propter hanc in altum regredere. Dominus judicat populos. Judica me, Domine, secundum justitiam meam, et secundum innocentiam meam super me. Consumetur nequitia peccatorum; et diriges justum, scrutans corda et renes, Deus.  Justum adjutorium meum a Domino, qui salvos facit rectos corde. Deus judex justus, fortis, et patiens; numquid irascitur per singulos dies? Nisi conversi fueritis, gladium suum vibrabit; arcum suum tetendit, et paravit illum. Et in eo paravit vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentibus effecit. Ecce parturiit injustitiam; concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem.  Lacum aperuit, et effodit eum; et incidit in foveam quam fecit. Convertetur dolor ejus in caput ejus, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas ejus descendet. Confitebor Domino secundum justitiam ejus, et ...

Menology Entry for December 16: (Crowned icon of Our Lady of the Raft). Our Lady of Almadia , Spanish, or  Madonna della Madia , Italian, for " Our Lady  of the Raft:" «Bishop Romuald  began work on a new Cathedral in the city of Monopoli in Apulia in Italy in 1107 A.D., but it was halted for the lack of roof beams. In the early morning of December 16, 1117 A.D., Our Lady thrice appeared to a parishioner Mercurius, at night, instructing him to advise Romuald that the needed wood beams had arrived in the harbor, & each time, Romuald dismissed Mercurius as deluded; a 4th time, Mercurius visited the harbor, & saw a raft floating, & once again rushed to Romuald, insisting that he had now himself seen the wood in the harbor. A Greek Icon of Our Lady was found on the raft. The raft beams were used to construct the roof.  In 1738, an endowment by Julius Sacchi, Bishop of Monopoli, enabled reconstruction; the old church was razed, & construction ...
