The last interesting place that we
visited in Naples was the Cathedral
of st. Jannarius. ST. Jannarius was
bishop at Pozznoli, a city about IL
miles from Naples and the very same
place where Paul. the Apostle of
Jesus Christ stayed for about a week
on his way to Rome. Under diocle-
ton. a Roman Emperor ST Jannarius
and his companions, as an inscription
on his chapel states, were thrown TO
the wild beasts in the famous
Amphitheater of Pozznoli, which
beasts refused touch them. after which
they were put to death. In the
year 1894 A. D., the Christians began
to erect the cathedral in honor Of this
faithful bishop and it was completed go
years afterward. 1t is founded upon
the ruins Of an old heathen temple
dedicated to the God Apollo, pro-
claiming the victory over heathenism.
1t is a large structure though not to
be compared with the largest churches
and cathedrals at Rome. The admira-
tion melting feature of this cathe-
dral is the chapel Of the honored
saint, built at the cost Of a million
ducats (about 1925. 900. It contains
z affairs. AZ beautiful columns of
~Drocatel (which is a certain kind of
marble. having a yellow ground,
iecked with white, gray and red, J
mastery paintings, a costly treasury
and in the tabernacle of the chief
altar are two vessels with the blood
of the martyred saints. The lique-
faction of the blood, which, accord
ing to the legend, took place for the
first time when the body was brought
to Naples by Bishop Severus in the
time of Constantine the Great, takes
place thrice annually On several sue
c~essive days, sometime in May, in
September and December. The rapid
or slow liquefaction is said to be a
prophesy Of a good or evil coming
year. 1t just happened that a Roman
pI16sG IIOm Am6IICd. was
; present at the time Of our visit, who
testified that he had several times
witnessed this miracle. as he called
it. Whether there is any or no divine
Intervention or revelation about this
I suppose is left to the in~dividual'e
belief or unbelief. It is sure that
there are many such so called wonders
in Italy and in spite of all these
wondrous things and the faith in
them, Italy's religious life has been
~stagnant and not purifying and max
ing Cody.
