  • Commemoration of the Transfer of the Relics of Saint John Baptist De La Salle from Belgium to Rome (1937)
    26 JANUARY COMMEMORATION OF THE TRANSFER OF THE RELICS OF SAINT JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE FROM BELGIUM TO ROME (1937) Generalale: Solemnity Institute: Memoria ad libitum John Baptist de La Salle was buried in the chapel of St. Suzanne in the parish church of Saint Sever in Rouen on Holy Saturday, 8 April 1719, the day after his death. On 16 July 1734 the bones of the saint were solemnly transferred to the recently-built chapel at Saint Yon. Brother Timothy, the Superior General, invited the Brother Directors from all over France, most of whom had known the Founder, to be present for the occasion, after which the delegates remained for the fifth General Chapter. The tomb was vandalized during the French Revolution but the relics survived to be hidden in a recess in the cellar. It was not until 1835 that they were rediscovered, exhumed, identified, and placed under the seal of the Archbishop of Rouen. In 1841, the superiors obtained papal approval to have the relics moved to the Generalate, which was then in Paris, but the project was never carried out. In 1875 the relics were moved from the school on the Rue St. Lo in Rouen to the spacious basilica built to house them that was attached to the newly-opened school on the Rue St. Gervais. After the Brothers were expelled from France in 1904, the reliquary and its precious contents were taken from Rouen to Lembecq-lez-Hal in Belgium. From there, in 1937 they were transported with great ceremony to Rome where they arrived on 26 January, the anniversary of the promulgation in 1725 of the Bull of Approbation of the Institute.

HEDWIG ROCKELEIN Just de Beauvais alias Justin d'Auxerre: l'art de dédoubler un saint1 Avec l'édition de la Passio s. Justini (BHL 4579) par François DOLBEAu et Hedwig RÔCKELEIN REMARQUES PRÉLIMINAIRES: LES PRINCIPES DU ,.DÉDOUBLEMENT« Dans le christianisme des origines et du haut Moyen Âge, les habitants des Gaules ac­ cordèrent le titre de saint à des individus qui avaient subi un martyre sanglant (mar­ tyres) ou qui s'étaient signalés par une vie chrétienne exemplaire, parce que particuliè­ rement vertueuse (confessores). Mais on pouvait également accéder à la sainteté par le biais légendaire: un auteur qui paraphrasait un récit hagiographique pouvait, à l'aide de variations presque insensibles, créer un saint supplémentaire à partir d'un martyr ou d'un confesseur. Ce procédé hagiographique était courant au Moyen Age et ne heurtait pas les sensibilités2• Dans le cas de Just de Beauvais, cette possibilité fut pous­ sée jusque dans ses derniers retranchements: en effet, le corps et la tête du saint, sépa­ rés lors du martyre, engendrèrent deux cultes distincts, qui furent encore dédoublés par la suite par un processus de création légendaire.

  • The Theban Legion
    The Theban Legion (also known as the Martyrs of Agaunum ) figures in Christian hagiography [1] as an entire Roman legion — of "six thousand six hundred and sixty-six men" [2] — who had converted en masse to Christianity and were martyred together, in 286, according to the hagiographies of Saint Maurice, the chief among the Legion's saints. Their feast day is held on September 22. The account According to the legend related ca. 443–450 by Eucherius of Lyon,[3] the garrison of the Legion was the city of Thebes, Egypt. There the Legion were quartered in the east until the emperor Maximian ordered them to march to Gaul, to assist him against the rebels of Burgundy. The Theban Legion [4] was commanded in its march by Saint Maurice (Mauritius), Candidus, Innocent, and Exupernis (Exuperius), all of whom are venerated as saints. At the Swiss town of Saint Maurice-en-Valais, then called Agaunum, so it was said, the orders were given— since the Legion had refused to a man, to sacrifice to the Emperor— to "decimate" it by putting to death a tenth of its men. This act was repeated until none were left. According to a letter from Eucherius, bishop of Lyon written about 450, bodies identified as the martyrs of Agaunum were discovered and identified by Theodore (Theodulus), the first historically identified Bishop of Octudurum, who was present at the Council of Aquileia, 381 and died in 391. The basilica he built in their honor attracted the pilgrim trade; its remains can still be seen, part of the abbey begun in the early sixth century on land donated by King Sigismund of Burgundy.
