lutheranhymnsHave we already done this?
Yes, it's the back half of #420, with individual verses for the saints (mostly apostles) in the second half of the year.
Who are some of the standouts?
John the Baptist is commemorated on June 24, or exactly half a year before Christmas Eve, because he was the last of the prophets and contrasts with the birth of Jesus.

Mary Magdalene and Mary (Mother of Jesus) get their own verses, women power! Magdalene's day is July 22, which in European countries is 22/7 (Pi Approximation Day!) Good combo.
St. Bartholomew's Day is August 24, this was actually the subject of a funny sermon one year because at that point in the summer you're really stretching for things to write about.
