San Emidio bishop martyr
Emidio of Ascoli, born in Trier in 273 and died in Ascoli Piceno on 5 August 309, was a Roman bishop, today revered as a martyr by the Catholic Church and patron of the Diocese of Ascoli Piceno and the town of Leporano, as well as protector against the earthquake .
His conversion to Christianity took place thanks to the preaching of Saints Nazario and Celso, who became catechumen, was baptized and dedicated his life to the study of the Holy Scriptures.
The saint's remains are kept in the underground crypt of the cathedral of Ascoli Piceno, known as the Crypt of Sant 'Emidio, while the place of execution is remembered with the temple of Sant' Emidio Rosso.
