context_page_description: Maurelius of Voghenza was a Syrian priest, who became bishop of Voghenza. He is venerated as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
context_section_description: In 1106 Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor had a vision of the saint and translated his relics to the church of San Giorgio in Ferrara. This led to a more intense veneration of the saint and in 1463 he was made Ferrara's patron saint. The saint also became a major subject in Ferrarese art, such as Cosmè Tura's 1470 Saint Maurelius Altarpiece for San Giorgio church. His relics are now in the Basilica of San Giorgio fuori le mura in Ferrara.
