Januarius celebrated in Naples
First source report
The Church celebrated the feast of Saint Januarius, the bishop and martyr who serves as the patron of Naples, on September 19. During a solemn liturgy at the Naples Cathedral, the blood relic of the saint was displayed in ampoules for the faithful.
The liquefaction of the blood occurred at 10:04 a.m. during the celebrations. This tradition connects the people of Naples to the martyr, who lived between the third and fourth centuries. Januarius served as a bishop in Benevento and was martyred near Pozzuoli alongside companions including the deacon Sosio.
