THE TRANSLATION OF SAINT GREGORY NAZIANZEN - 11 JUNE

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JUNE Saints celebrated on the 11th of June THE TRANSLATION OF SAINT GREGORY NAZIANZEN Today, we also commemorate The Translation of Saint Gregory Nazianzen . The Roman Martyrology states:  "At Rome, the translation of Saint Gregory Nazianzen , whose sacred body after having been brought from Constantinople to Rome, and kept a long time in the church of the Mother of God, was, by the Sovereign Pontiff, Gregory XIII, transferred with great solemnity to a chapel of the basilica of St Peter, most sumptuously decorated by his Holiness, and the next day placed with due honour beneath the altar." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of  The Translation of Saint Gregory Nazianzen  may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
