March 14th in Christ

Notable events in Christian history on March 14th include:

968: Death of St. Matilda of Ringelheim—a Saxon noblewoman and queen who supported the Church through charity and monastery-building, canonized for her piety (feast day).
1556: Martyrdom of Thomas Cranmer—intended burning delayed from March 7 to March 21 due to rain, but March 14 marked his degradation from archbishopric, pivotal in the English Reformation.
1946: Billy Graham preached his first sermon post-WWII in London—a 10-day campaign launching his global evangelistic career.
