St Januarius
d. 19 September 305
Blood of St Januarius liquefied this morning on his feast day. Naples is spared disaster for the coming months, until December 16th 2013, when the blood of the saint is to make another go around.
(ANSA) - Naples, September 19 - The Miracle of San Gennaro was repeated on Thursday when the blood of Naples' patron saint liquefied at 9:41 Italian.
A huge crowd of faithful, who had been pouring into the city's cathedral and the square outside from the early hours of the day, greeted the announcement of the miracle recurrence with warm applause.
Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, the Archbishop of Naples, held up a phial containing the blood of the 3rd-century saint while a traditional white handkerchief was waved.
For religious and superstitious Neapolitans, the ritual's success is a good omen for the city.
The miracle takes place on the anniversary of the martyrdom of San Gennaro (St. Januarius) in September 305 AD. ANSA Read More>>>>>
