Day 350 -- Blessed James Bell

Blessed James Bell grew up in England in the 1500s when people had to conform to the rules of the state church under Queen Elizabeth, which he did, but eventually returned to his Catholic faith. He was a priest and was educated at Oxford. On April 20, 1584 with Blessed John Finch, they were hanged in Lancaster, England. He was beatified in 1929.
