ST CONRAD NANTULNUS, MARTYR - 7 AUGUST

SAINT CONRAD NANTULNUS, MARTYR

Conradus Nantulnus (August 7) was a pilgrim. We don not know the name of his hometown. In 1286, he passed through Wolfrathshausen [Wolfratshausen], not far from Munich. Here the castellan Ganther, who was coveting the pilgrim's meagre belongings, illegally detained him, accused him of a vile crime and burned him at the stake, or, as Raderus* relates in his work, had him roasted to death in the same way as Saint Laurence had been killed.

But the Lord God glorified his faithful servant through many miracles, as a result of which a church was built in his honour and his veneration was confirmed by Pope Boniface VIII. In the above-mentioned town of Wolfrathshausen, he is commemorated on the Sunday before the feast of Saint Laurence.

The Proprium of Passau relates his life story as follows: Saint Valentine came from the seashore and arrived at Batava, today's Passau. Here he wanted to proclaim the gospel to the inhabitants, who were ignorant of the true worship of God, and therefore went to Rome to obtain the necessary authority from the Pope for this undertaking. Upon his return, he invested much time and effort to gain those lost souls for Christ, as the Pope expected him to. Valentine himself thirsted for their salvation, incessantly preaching the Divine word to them. After some considerable time, however, Valentine realised that all the seed he had sown fell on rocky ground.
