He was attacked by the barbarians and killed. The body was found by S. Eligius at Seclin where he was martyred, and translated in the 9th century to S. Omer, thence to Chartres, and then to Tournay.

A singular and picturesque incident led to his election. He was in the great church at Rheims when the clergy and people were assembled to choose a bishop, when a ray of sun, smiting through a small clerestory mn- dow, fell on and illumined his head.

Remigius. the irradiated, handsome face of the young noble shone out on the people as though marked by God for their future pastor. He was chosen by acclamation, and notwithstanding the impediment of his being under the canonical age, was ordained Archbishop of Rheims. A letter of Sidonius ApoUinaris to the saint has been pre- served, in which the eloquence of Remigius is commended. Sidonius was an accomplished professional flatterer, but his description of the abilities of Remigius is less to be mis- tnisted, as there was nothing to be got by lauding him to " the skies.

  • Profile of a Plant: the Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE By
    Profile of a Plant: The Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE by Benjamin Jon Graham A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Paolo Squatriti, Chair Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes Professor Richard P. Tucker Professor Raymond H. Van Dam © Benjamin J. Graham, 2014 Acknowledgements Planting an olive tree is an act of faith. A cultivator must patiently protect, water, and till the soil around the plant for fifteen years before it begins to bear fruit. Though this dissertation is not nearly as useful or palatable as the olive’s pressed fruits, its slow growth to completion resembles the tree in as much as it was the patient and diligent kindness of my friends, mentors, and family that enabled me to finish the project. Mercifully it took fewer than fifteen years. My deepest thanks go to Paolo Squatriti, who provoked and inspired me to write an unconventional dissertation. I am unable to articulate the ways he has influenced my scholarship, teaching, and life. Ray Van Dam’s clarity of thought helped to shape and rein in my run-away ideas. Diane Hughes unfailingly saw the big picture—how the story of the olive connected to different strands of history. These three people in particular made graduate school a humane and deeply edifying experience. Joining them for the dissertation defense was Richard Tucker, whose capacious understanding of the history of the environment improved this work immensely. In addition to these, I would like to thank David Akin, Hussein Fancy, Tom Green, Alison Cornish, Kathleen King, Lorna Alstetter, Diana Denney, Terre Fisher, Liz Kamali, Jon Farr, Yanay Israeli, and Noah Blan, all at the University of Michigan, for their benevolence.

ITALY) G. P. BROGIOLO AND M. IBSEN* Preface The archaeological studies conducted since the end of the 1990s in the Alto Garda bres- ciano (the mountainous terrain along the western shores of Lake Garda in Lombardy) have uncovered, in addition to evidence for settlement patterns, ecclesiastical organization and centers of production, the remains of three upland eremitic sites in the township of Tig- nale. One of them is datable, on the basis of a written source, to around the middle of the sixth century, a date closely compatible with the chronology given for the remaining two sites by archaeological evidence. These hermitages should be seen in the context of a more general proliferation of ascetic retreats around the rest of the periphery of Lake Garda in the modern provinces of Verona and Trento) and on the slopes of Mount Baldo, which deserves more systematic archaeological exploration, the more so because intensive surveys executed over the past ten years in the same areas have documented numerous fortresses and guard posts which belonged to a complex, multi-phased defensive system between the Val d'Adige, Lake Garda and the Giudicarie, one of the most delicate strategic sectors in northern Italy. While the occasional presence of troops is attested in the area from the end of the third century through the fourth, when the neighboring cities of Verona and Trento were being refortified, the fifth century witnessed a concerted effort to construct numerous castra, watchtowers and barriers along the alpine valleys near the lake, situated with an eye to protecting the principal lines of communication in the region.

  • Pope Proclaims Year Dedicated to St. Joseph
    THE CATHOLIC MIRROR Vol. 55, No. 1 January, 15 2021 Pope proclaims year dedicated Ordinations have powerful impact to St. Joseph By Junno Arocho Esteves Catholic News Service VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Marking the 150th anniversary of St. Joseph being declared patron of the universal church, Pope Francis pro- claimed a yearlong celebration dedicated to the foster father of Jesus. In a Dec. 8 apostolic letter, “Pa- tris Corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”), the pope said Christians can discover in St. Joseph, who often goes unnoticed, “an intercessor, a support and a guide in times of trouble.” “St. Joseph reminds us that those who appear hidden or in the shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of salvation. A word of recognition and of gratitude is due to them all,” he said. As Mary’s husband and guardian of the son of God, St. Joseph turned “his human voca- tion to domestic love into a superhuman oblation of himself, his heart and all his abilities, a love placed at the service of the Messiah who was growing to maturity in his home.” Despite being troubled at first by Mary’s pregnancy, he added, St. Joseph was obedient to God’s will “regardless of the hardship involved.” “In every situation, Joseph declared his own ‘fiat,’ like those of Mary at the Annunciation and Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane,” the pope Continued on page 14 Capitol attack Read what Pope Francis and other faith leaders said about the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol, page 15.

  • Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature
    Bernadette Filotas PAGAN SURVIVALS, SUPERSTITIONS AND POPULAR CULTURES IN EARLY MEDIEVAL PASTORAL LITERATURE Is medieval pastoral literature an accurate reflection of actual beliefs and practices in the early medieval West or simply of literary conventions in- herited by clerical writers? How and to what extent did Christianity and traditional pre-Christian beliefs and practices come into conflict, influence each other, and merge in popular culture? This comprehensive study examines early medieval popular culture as it appears in ecclesiastical and secular law, sermons, penitentials and other pastoral works – a selective, skewed, but still illuminating record of the be- liefs and practices of ordinary Christians. Concentrating on the five cen- turies from c. 500 to c. 1000, Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature presents the evidence for folk religious beliefs and piety, attitudes to nature and death, festivals, magic, drinking and alimentary customs. As such it provides a precious glimpse of the mu- tual adaptation of Christianity and traditional cultures at an important period of cultural and religious transition.

    “Year of the Eucharist”—The Communion of Saints—Fr. Steve Lape God right along with us as we pray, sing and rejoice in God’s eternal love & mercy. We are all one family in Christ, as we hope to someday be forever where these saints are (in Heaven with God), and as the saints in Heaven pray for us to stay close to Christ & join them. As St. Bernard, the 12th century abbot, once said in a sermon: “Calling the saints to mind inspires, or rather arouses in us, above all else, a longing to enjoy As we continue to celebrate the “Year of the their company, so desirable in itself. We long to share Eucharist” in our diocese until June 2018, it’s in the citizenship of heaven, to dwell with the spirits of important to reflect on why celebrating Mass is so the blessed, to join the assembly of patriarchs, the central to our Catholic life. Considering that the month ranks of the prophets, the council of apostles, the great of November is a special time of awareness of loved host of martyrs, the noble company of confessors and ones who have died, with All Saints Day on Nov. 1st the choir of virgins. In short, we long to be united in and All Souls Day on Nov. 2nd, it’s fitting to think happiness with all the saints… Therefore, we should about the Eucharist in terms of being a “communion of aim at attaining this glory with a wholehearted and saints.” It’s an expression found in the Apostles Creed, prudent desire.” (from The Liturgy of the Hours, Vol.
