Catholic Word of the Day: BLOOD OF ST. JANUARIUS, 05-14-12

Featured Term (selected at random):

BLOOD OF ST. JANUARIUS

A famous relic in the Cathedral of Naples. The blood of this martyr (d. about 305), preserved in a glass phial, liquifies some eighteen times each year when the reliquary is exposed and placed near the saint's head. No natural explanation has been found for the phenomenon.

All items in this dictionary are from Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary, © Eternal Life. Used with permission.


TOPICS: Catholic; History; Religion & Science; Theology
KEYWORDS: catholic; saints
If I remember correctly, one of the days the blood liquifies is on his feast day.

I saw this on tv once. It looks miraculous to me.

I think I saw a EWTN Show with Penny Lord and her Husband hosting on this event one year.
