September 3rd
Memorial of Gregory the Great, pope and doctor
St Gregory the Great (d. 604, Rome, Italy) (Relics: Rome, Italy)
A major part of the relics of St Gregory the Great and the body of St Sebastian are said to have been taken to Soissons, France in 826 AD. Alban Butler in The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Other Principal Saints claims that in 1564 these relics were stolen and thrown into a ditch by Calvinists. This tradition then maintains that some of these desecrated relics were recovered and subsequently placed into surrounding churches in that area. Despite this tradition the veneration of their relics in Rome has been maintained for centuries.

September 16th
Memorial of Cornelius, pope and martyr; Cyprian, bishop and martyr
St Cornelius (d. 253, Civitavecchia, Italy) (Relics: Rome, Italy; Aachen, Germany)
St Cyprian (d. 258, Carthage, Africa)
St Cornelius died in the Italian city of Civitavecchia in 253 AD. His remains were then transferred south to Rome and placed in the Catacombs of San Callisto on the Appian Way. Five centuries later his relics were transferred to the Roman church of Santa Maria in Trastevere by Pope Adrian I (772-795). Pope Gregory IV (827-844) then had his remains placed under the main altar of this same church during his pontificate. From here a tradition claims that the remains of both St Cornelius and the bishop, St Cyprian, were transferred to Compiègne, France. Some of the sources conflict, however, with regard to this tradition. For instance, the Martyrology of Ado mentions the transfer of St Cyprian but not the transfer of St Cornelius. As a result two separate traditions have arisen with regard to St Cornelius’ relics. The Roman tradition holds that some of his relics still remain under the main altar in Santa Maria in Trastevere. In the 18th century some of these relics were transferred to the Roman church of Santi Celso e Giuliano. A sarcophagus with these relics can still be found in this church. On the other hand the highly venerated relic of St Cornelius’ head in the Kornelimünster Abbey near Aachen, Germany demonstrates that the purported transfer of his relics to Compiègne in the 9th century may also have credence.

Rome, Italy
*This church is located in Trastevere.

Catacombs of San Callisto
Via Appia Antica 110/126
Rome, Italy
*These catacombs are located south of the Aurelian Walls.
*St Cornelius, St Pontian (d. 235), St Fabian (d. 250), St Sixtus II (d. 258), and a number of other early popes were originally buried here within the Papal Crypt. The remains of St Cornelius were later moved to Santa Maria in Trastevere, the remains of St Fabian to San Sebastiano Fuori Le Mura, and the remains of St Sixtus II to San Sisto Vecchio.
*St Cecilia was also buried in these catacombs. In 821 her remains were removed and taken to Santa Cecilia in Trastevere.
*Finally, it was at this location in the year 258 that Roman soldiers burst into a chapel and arrested St Sixtus II and four other deacons while they were celebrating the liturgy. St Lawrence (d. 258) was not among this group; however, a legend holds that St Lawrence was able to speak to St Sixtus just before the pope was martyred. In this conversation St Sixtus said to St Lawrence, “You shall follow me in three days.” St Lawrence then in three days went on to suffer his own martyrdom by being burnt alive on a gridiron.

St Jerome (d. 420, Bethlehem, Judea) (Relics: Rome, Italy)
Basilica of St Mary Major

*The remains of St Jerome were brought to this basilica in the 12th century and placed next to the five highly venerated pieces of wood from the manger of the Lord. Up to the last century these relics from Christ’s Nativity were located in the confessio within the chapel in the right transept. However, during the pontificate of Pius IX they were removed and placed in their present location below the Papal Altar. There is some doubt if the relics of St Jerome were also moved at this time.
