Christian Feast Day: Magnus of Anagni
Magnus of Anagni
Saint Magnus of Anagni, also known as Magnus of Trani or Magnus of Fabrateria Vetus (Ceccano), is venerated by Catholics as the patron saint of Anagni in the Province of Frosinone (Lazio). In 1901, his supposed relics – including the skull – were translated to the St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church in Louisville, Kentucky. In 2004, the saint was deleted from the Roman Martyrology. According to the historian Sabine Baring-Gould he must be considered a "mistaken duplication" of the Eastern saint Andrew the Tribune, due to an additional comma that made one martyr into two.
