Christian feast day: Anne Line

Anne Line was an English Catholic martyr. After losing her husband, she became very active in sheltering clandestine Catholic priests, which was illegal in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Finally arrested, she was condemned to death and executed at Tyburn. The Catholic Church declared her a martyr, and Pope Paul VI canonised her in 1970.

February 27 is the 58th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar; 307 days remain until the end of the year.
