CASSIUS of NARNI (Saint)
Bishop (June 29) (6th century) A holy prelate, Bishop of Narni, near Spoleto.
In his lifetime he gave all he possessed to the poor. He let no day pass
without celebrating Mass “with compunction and many tears.” On June 29, 558
(the day he had himself foretold), he yielded up his soul to God at the moment
when, having communicated the assistants at the Holy Sacrifice, he was
dismissing them with the Kiss of Peace. His shrine is in Narni Cathedral.

St Cassius (29th June)
The Roman Martyrology
records, under 29th June:
“At Narni, St Cassius,
bishop of that city. St. Gregory relates that he permitted scarcely any
day of his life to pass without offering propitiation to Almighty God. It
was in character with his life, for he distributed in alms all he possessed,
and his devotion was such that abundant tears flowed from his eyes during the
holy Sacrifice. At last, coming to Rome on the birthday of the apostles,
as was his yearly custom, after having solemnly celebrated Mass and given the
Lord's Body and the kiss of peace to all, he departed for Heaven”.
The funerary inscription
(CIL XI 4164) of St Cassius survives, embedded in the screen of the Sacello di
San Cassio in the Duomo (see below). It is part of a relief (illustrated
above) that depicts two lambs and a cross. The inscription also
commemorates Fausta, the wife of St Cassius, who had pre-deceased him.
The text, which is written in the first person, reads:

It contains two important
dates:
-St Cassius died on “PRID
KAL IVL” (30th June), 17 years after the year of the Consul Basil (who was in
office in Byzantium in 541) - i.e. on 30th June 558. This formula
was used because Narni was in Byzantine hands at the time.
-He had held the post of
bishop for 21 years, 8 months and 10 days - i.e. he had been consecrated
on 19th October, 536.
St Cassius is mentioned
twice in the “Dialogues” of
St Gregory:
-Totila despised him
because his florid complexion made him look like an alcoholic. However,
when he expelled a demon that was tormenting one of Totila's guards, Totila
revered him. (Totila held Narni for an unknown time during the
period 536-52: the account by St Gregory suggests that St Cassius enjoyed a
degree of moral authority during this occupation).
-St Cassius usually said
Mass every day (as noted in the Roman Martyrology above). One of his
priests prophesied that he would receive his reward for this when he died,
which would happen on the feast of SS Peter and Paul. He did indeed die
after saying Mass on this day, seven years after the prophecy.
St Gregory recorded the
events leading to the death of St Cassius at greater length in his “Homiliarum
in Evangelia” (2:37): interestingly, he records that St Cassius celebrated
the daily Mass on the tomb of St
Juvenal. There must therefore have been a chapel over this tomb,
which is known to have been close to the what is now known as the Sacello di
San Cassio (see below). There is circumstantial evidence to suggest that
it served as a funerary chapel for the bishops of Narni. This was almost
certainly the site of the grave of St Cassius and Fausta.
Relics of St Cassius
Adalbert I, Margrave of
Tuscany destroyed the funerary chapel when he sacked Narni in 878, after he had
participated in an attack on Rome in an effort to force Pope John
VIII to crown Carloman as Holy Roman Emperor. He
stole the relics of SS Juvenal and Cassius and those of Fausta, and took them
to San Frediano, Lucca. These events are recorded in the account of the
life of St Cassius in the “Passionario Lucchese” (12th century): “Sarcofaga
rupta sunt, mausolea fracta, corpora sanctorum abstracta sunt, vehicula
parata”.
John VIII lifted the
excommunication of Adalbert I in November 880 on condition that he
honoured a promise that he had made, and he was given the deadline of the
following March. This promise seems to have involved the return of the relics
of St Juvenal, but not those of St Cassius, to Narni. On their
return, the relics of St Juvenal were apparently buried in the rock below
a new shrine that was built close to the site of his original grave (and thus
of the funerary chapel that had housed the grave of St Cassius). This
shrine was later integrated into the present Duomo. The relics of St
Juvenal were rediscovered here in 1642, and translated in 1649 to the crypt of
the church, below the high altar.
The funerary inscription
of St Cassius (above) was first documented in 1661. At that time, it was
in its current location, above the entrance to the shrine in the Duomo.
Until that time, the veneration of St Cassius (and “St” Fausta) had apparently
been largely confined to churches associated with the Canons of San Frediano,
Lucca. In 1679, when Bishop Ottavio Avio requested from the
Canons the return of the relics of St Cassius, he probably used the existence
of this inscription as justification. The relics (which comprised: a
small bone in a silver urn; a larger bone; and two sacks containing the ashes
of St Cassius) were duly returned, and placed below a new altar in the shrine
in 1680. It was probably at this point that the shrine became known as
the Sacello di San Cassio. The feast of
St Cassius is celebrated in Narni on 13th October, the date of the translation
of his relics to Narni.
Miracle of St Cassius
(1680)
This panel in the Museo Diocesano,
Terni, which is attributed to Girolamo Troppa, depicts a
miracle that happened when the relics of St Cassius were returned to Narni in
1679.

Chapter Six: of Cassius,
Bishop of Narni.
GREGORY. Neither can I,
Peter, pass over with silence that thing, which many of the city of Narni,
which be here present, affirm to be most true. For in the time of the same
Goths, the foresaid King Totila coming to Narni, Cassius, a man of venerable
life, Bishop of the same city, went forth to meet him, whom the king utterly
contemned, because his face was high-coloured, thinking that it proceeded not
from any other cause than drinking. But almighty God, to show how worthy a man
was despised, permitted a wicked spirit before his whole army, in the fields of
Narni, where the king also himself was, to possess one of his guard, and
cruelly to torment him. Straight ways was he brought to the venerable man Cassius,
in the presence of the king: who praying to God for him, and making the sign of
the cross, forthwith he cast out the devil, so that never after he durst
presume any more to enter into his body. And by this means it fell out that the
barbarous king, from that day forward, did with his heart much reverence the
servant of God, whom before by his face he judged to be a man of no account:
for seeing him now to be one of such power and virtue, he gave over those proud
thoughts which before he had conceived.

Saint of the Day – 29
June – St Cassius (Died 558) Bishop of Narni
Posted on June
29, 2023
Saint of the Day – 29
June – St Cassius (Died 558) Bishop of Narni, Italy, from 537 to 558, the date
of his deat, Miracle-worker. He was praised by St Gregory the Great and was
noted for his charity. Died on 30 June 558 in Narni, Italy of natural causes. Relics
enshrined in the Cathedral of Narni, Italy.
The Roman Martyrology
reads: “At Narni, St Cassius, Bishop of that City of whom St Gregory the Great
relates, in writing and in sermons, that Cassius permitted scarely any day of
his life to pass without offering the Victim of propitiation to Almight God and
he was well worthy to do so, for he distributed in alms, all he possessed and
his devotion was such that abundant tears flowed from his eyes during the Holy
Sacrifice.
At Last, he came to Rome on the birthday of the Apostles, as was his yearly
custom and after having solemnly celebrated Mass and given the Lord’s Body and
the Kiss of Peace to all, he departed for Heaven, the next day at Narni”
Cassius would offer Mass
daily at the Tomb of his predecessor Saint Juvenal of Narni, on whose life he
tried to pattern his own. On the feast of Sts Peter and Paul, on the occasion
of which every year, he used to go to Rome, after having celebrated the holy
mysteries in his city and having distributed communion to all, he died.
St Gregory the Great,
praising Cassius, says that he lived at the time of King Totila. Cassius
adorned the Episcopal See of Narni in the time of the Gothic wars and was one
of the Bishops who, in that sad period of disasters for Italy, implemented the
directives of the Church in the pastoral ministry with zeal and prudence. St
Gregory recounts that in the territory of Narni a sword holder of King Totila,
possessed by the devil, was freed through the prayers of Cassius.

In the tragic
circumstances of the sack of Narni in the year 878, Cassius’ Relics were taken
to the Basilica di San Frediano in Lucca with those of Saints Juvenal and Cassius’
wife Fausta. They were taken by Adalbert, Margrave of Tuscany but all of the
Relics were returned to Narni two years later.
The Relics of Saint
Cassius were enclosed in a restored shrine later known as the Sacello di San
Cassio. The beautiful artwork below depicts The Miracle of St Cassius on the
return of his Relics to Narni. Unfortunately I find no information of this
miracle but one can see a father with an ill child in his arms, possibly a dead
child.

Narni and Terni
UNITED DIOCESES OF NARNI
AND TERNI (NARNIENSIS ET INTERAMNENSIS)
Located in Central Italy.
Narni is the ancient Nequinum of the Sabines; in 300 and 299 B.C., it was
besieged by the Romans, who destroyed the city and sent there a Latin colony,
changing the name to Narnia. Luitprand captured the town in 726, but Pope
Zacharias persuaded him to restore it to the Duchy of Rome in
742, after which it remained under pontifical rule. From 1198 to 1214, Narni
was in rebellion against Innocent
III, who temporarily suppressed its episcopal
see. The churches of this city contain many paintings of
the ancient Umbrian school.
This town is the birthplace of the Blessed Lucia of Narni,
a tertiary of St.
Dominic, who died in 1544, and of the condottiere Erasmo
Gattamelata. Narni venerates as its first bishop the martyr Juvenalis,
who died in the second half of the fourth century; St. Maximus, who was bishop in
425, was succeeded by his two sons Hercules and Pancratius;St.
Gregory the Great refers to the bishop St.
Cassius, who died in 558; the same pontiff wrote a letter to the bishop Projectinus
which shows that, at Narni, at that time, there were still pagans to
be converted; Bishop John (940) was succeeded by his son, who became John
XIII; among other bishops were:
William, a Franciscan,
whom Urban
V employed against the Fraticelli (1367); and Raimondo Castelli
(1656), founder of the seminary.
In 1908, the sees of Narni and
of Terni were united. Terni is on the river Nera, at its confluence with the
Velino; the magnificent cascade of the latter is well-known through the noble
description by Lord Byron in "Childe Harold". Terni is the ancient
Interamna Nahars of the Umbrians, and its former splendour is witnessed to by
the ruins of an amphitheatre in the garden of the episcopal palace, a theatre,
and baths near the church of
St. Nicholas. The cathedral,
and other churches, are built on the sites of pagantemples.
After the Lombard invasion, Terni belongs to the Duchy of Spoleto,
and with the latter, came into the Pontifical
States; it was at this town that Pope
Zacharias entered into the agreement with King Luitprand for the
restitution of the cities of Bieda, Orte, Bomarzo, and Amelia to the Duchy
of Rome.
It is believed that the gospel was preached at Terni by St. Peregrinus, about
the middle of the second century. The townsmen have great veneration for St.
Valentinus, whose basilica is outside the city, and was, probably, the meeting-place
of the first Christians of
Terni. There were other martyrs from
this city among them, Sts. Proculus, Ephebus, Apollonius, and the holy virgin
Agape. In the time of Totila, the Bishop of
Terni, St. Proculus, was killed at Bologna, and St. Domnina and ten nuns,
her companions, were put
to death at Terni itself. After the eighth century Terni was without
a bishopuntil
1217, in which year the diocese was
re-established. Among its bishops since
that time, were Ludovico Mazzanco III (1406), who governed the diocese for
fifty-two years; Cosmas Manucci (1625), who gave the high
altar to the cathedral,
and Francesco Rapaccioli (1646), a cardinal who
restore the cathedral.
The united sees are
immediately dependent upon Rome;
they have 57parishes,
with 66,600 inhabitants, 3 religious
houses of men, and 11 of women.

San Cassio di Narni Vescovo
m. 558
Martirologio
Romano: A Narni in Umbria, san Cassio, vescovo, che, come riferisce il
papa san Gregorio Magno, ogni giorno offriva a Dio il sacrificio di
riconciliazione effondendosi in lacrime e tutto quel che aveva dava in
elemosina; infine, nel giorno in cui si celebra la solennità degli Apostoli,
per la quale tutti gli anni era solito recarsi a Roma, dopo aver celebrato la
Messa nella sua città e distribuito a tutti il corpo di Cristo, fece ritorno al
Signore.
Le notizie più importanti
e più sicure intorno a Cassio sono attinte dai Dialogi di san Gregorio Magno
(III, 6; IV, 58) e dalla Homilia in Evang. (II, 37) dello stesso. Assai importante
come fonte è, inoltre, l'epitafio di Cassio (CIL, X, 2, n. 4164), che è tuttora
visibile sulla parete esterna della cappella di San Cassio nel duomo di Narni:
nell'epigrafe è Cassio stesso che parla indicando che, davanti al sepolcro dove
egli riposa, giace anche Fausta, consorte dilettissima della sua vita, e
chiedendo per sé e per lei la preghiera dei visitatori. Per ascendere agli
ordini sacri si era separato dalla moglie, ma i due sposi si erano uniti di
nuovo nella morte. Sull'orlo inferiore della lastra c'è un alfabeto scolpito
contemporaneamente all'epitafio.
Dall'epigrafe apprendiamo
che Cassio fu consacrato il 9 ottobre 536 e san Gregorio, lodandolo, dice che
visse ai tempi di Totila. Cassio illustrò la sede episcopale di Narni nel tempo
delle guerre gotiche e fu uno dei vescovi che, in quel triste periodo di
sciagure per l'Italia, attuò con zelo e prudenza le direttive della Chiesa nel
ministero pastorale. San Gregorio racconta che nel territorio di Narni un
portaspada di Totila, posseduto dal demonio, fu liberato per le preghiere di
Cassio.
Per la festa di san
Pietro (29 giugno) il santo vescovo soleva recarsi a Roma, ma, avuta la
rivelazione che sarebbe morto in quella occasione, desistette dal viaggio;
tuttavia, la morte lo colse proprio in quel giorno. San Gregorio narrò al
popolo raccolto nella chiesa di San Sebastiano sulla via Appia, come la
profezia si fosse avverata dopo qualche anno. L'iscrizione tombale dice che
morì il 30 giugno 558. Nelle tragiche circostanze del sacco di Narni fu fatta
la traslazione delle reliquie di Cassio e di Giovenale, anch'egli vescovo di
Narni, da quella città a Lucca: intorno all'anno del sacco e della conseguente
traslazione sono state emesse molte ipotesi (Anal. Boll., XLVIII [1930], p.
409).
Contiene la narrazione di
questa traslazione un documento forse del sec. IX o X (in MGH, Scriptores,
XXX, pp. 976-83). Cassio è ricordato nel Martirologio Romano al 29 giugno; il
suo elogio è stato ripreso dai Dialogi e dall'omelia di san Gregorio Magno.

und Cassius, über ihrem Grab in der Kathedrale in
Narni
Den hellige Cassius av
Narni (d. 558)
Minnedag:
29. juni
Den hellige Cassius (it:
Cassio) levde på 500-tallet i Italia. Han var biskop av Narni i regionen Umbria
nord for Roma fra 537 til sin død i 558. Den hellige pave Gregor I den store (590-604)
beskriver ham i sine «Dialoger», lovpriser hans kristne dyder og betraktet ham
som en eksemplarisk biskop og hyrde. Pave Gregor skriver at han cotidie
Deo hostias placationis offerebat («daglig frembrakte forsoningsofferet
for Gud»). Da var han så rørt at han ofte var oppløst i tårer. Hans personlige
liv var preget av stor enkelhet, han hadde stor omsorg for presteskap og folk
og var sjenerøs til å gi almisser til de fattige. Pave Gregor nevner ham også i
en spesiell preken.
Tradisjonen forteller at
Cassius fikk høre av et medlem av sitt presteskap at han ville dø i Roma på
festen for de hellige Peter og Paulus. Han skrev
sin egen gravskrift og ba om å få bli gravlagt i Narni ved siden av en kvinne
ved navn Fausta, som man mener var hans hustru, og nær sin hellige
forgjenger Juvenalis (d.
ca 376).
Etter dette dro Cassius
hvert år til Roma for apostelfyrstenes fest. Seks ganger vendte han tilbake til
Narni, men ved den syvende anledningen gikk profetien i oppfyllelse, og han
døde fredelig i Roma etter å ha feiret messen. En annen versjon sier at han
dette året var hjemme i Narni og døde en 29. juni etter å ha delt ut kommunion
til alle troende. Året er ukjent, noen kilder sier 558, kilden Butler’s
Lives of the Saints sier 538, mens andre nøyer seg med å si at det skjedde
på 500- eller 600-tallet. Han ble gravlagt i Narni.
I 878 ble Cassius’
levninger brakt til Basilica di San Frediano i Lucca sammen med de jordiske
restene av biskop Juvenalis av Narni og Cassius’ hustru Fausta. De ble tatt av
markgreve Adalbert av Toscana. Men to år senere ble alle relikviene etter
begjæring fra Narni gitt tilbake dit. Relikviene av Cassius ble lagt i et
restaurert skrin senere kjent som Sacello di San Cassio, mens Juvenalis’
relikvier sies å ha blitt gjemt. Cassius’ grav befinner seg i krypten San
Giovenale i katedralen i Narni. Han skal ha forberedt den selv og ha skrevet
versene som var innskrevet på den. Hans minnedag er dødsdagen 29. juni.

Bischof von Narni
† 29. Juni 558 in Narni in
Umbrien in Italien
Cassius war verheiratet
mit Fausta, mit der er, so die Überlieferung, in jungfräulicher Ehe lebte.
Er wurde 536, in der Zeit der Angriffe der Ostgoten unter König Totila, Bischof
von Narni; Kathedrale war damals die Kirche Santa Maria Maggiore, die spätere,
heute profanisierte Kirche
San Domenico. Erzählt wird, dass Cassius einen besessenen Schwerthalter des
Königs Totila vom Teufel befreite. Cassius starb am Festtag für Petrus und Paulus, an
dem er in den Jahren zuvor immer eine Wallfahrt nach Rom unternommen
hatte, nach der Feier der Messe.
Die Nachrichten über
Cassius stammen von Gregor
„dem Großen”. Cassius wurde in Narni bestattet in dem Grab von
Bischof Juvenal
von Narni, das als Kapelle in der Kathedrale erhalten
ist. In diesem Grab lag auch schon Cassius' Frau Fausta, er selbst hatte es mit
einer Grabinschrift für sie versehen. Die Gebeine von
Cassius und seiner Frau Fausta - tatsächlich die von Fausta aus Kyzikos -
wurden 878 während der Plünderung von Narni - zusammen mit jenen von Juvenal -
nach Lucca in die Kirche
San Frediano gebracht, einige Reliquien wurden 1679 wieder nach Narni
zurückgegeben, dort werden sie in der Kathedrale bewahrt.
