post-title

The Saint of the day 29 November is San Saturnino of Tolosa, which name day is celebrated and other saints who are celebrated on this date.


Saint Saturninus of Toulouse

According to the Passio Saturnini written between 420 and 430, which together with the Letter of the Martyrs of Lyon constitutes the best literary document useful for knowing the origins of the Gallican Church and its evangelization, Saturnino arrived in Toulouse in 250, i.e. at the time of the consulate of Decius and Grateful, when through an imperial provision orders were given to those who profess to be Christian to renounce their faith.

The martyrdom of Saturnio derived from a riot of people and occurred in the mid-third century.


Saturnino, after Saint Irenaeus, appears to be the first Gallo bishop mentioned in the texts that have been handed down.

The cult of San Saturnio began from the third century and spread to Italy, particularly to Cagliari where he was venerated as a city patron.

Gregory of Tours names him instead as patron of Toulouse.


The most precious part of its iconography remains in France, however, where between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries there was no church that did not retain at least one of its images, especially in the southern part of the nation.
