Commentary
Gennaro ( Bénévent , 272 – Pouzzoles , 19 septembre 305 ) était un évêque romain et martyr chrétien , vénéré comme saint par l' Église catholique , qui célèbre son culte le 19 septembre, et par l' Église orthodoxe .
Saint patron de Naples , dont la cathédrale abriterait des ossements, ainsi que deux ampoules contenant ce que la tradition populaire attribue à son sang, sa figure a toujours été objet de culte et de folklore. Certains attribuent le phénomène de la liquéfaction du sang , rituellement représenté le samedi précédant le premier dimanche de mai, le 19 septembre et le 16 décembre, à un miracle et à un signe avant-coureur de bonne fortune.
