The remains were removed to Mugnano del Cardinale, in Campania, Italy, in 1805 and became the focus of widespread devotion, with several Miracles credited to the Saint's intercession, including the healing of Venerable Pauline Jaricot in 1835, which received wide publicity. Saint John Vianney attributed to her intercession the extraordinary cures that others attributed to himself.
In 1833, a Neapolitan Nun reported that, in a vision, Saint Philomena had revealed that she was a Greek Princess, Martyred at thirteen years of age by Diocletian, who was Roman Emperor from 284 A.D. to 305 A.D.
From 1837 to 1961, Celebration of her Liturgical Feast was approved for some places, but was never included in The General Roman Calendar for Universal Use. The 1920 Typical Edition of The Roman Missal included a mention of her, under 11 August, in the Section headed Missae pro aliquibus locis (Masses For Some Places), with an indication that The Mass to be used in those places was one from The Common of a Virgin Martyr, without any Collect, Proper to the Saint.

The Shrine of her Relics, in Mugnano del Cardinale, continues to be visited by Pilgrims from many Countries, an Arch-Confraternity in her honour exists, as does popular Devotion in various places around the World.
On 24 May 1802, in The Catacombs of Priscilla, on The Via Salaria Nova, an inscribed Loculus (space hollowed out of the rock) was found, and, on the following day, it was carefully examined and opened. The Loculus was closed, with three Terra Cotta tiles, on which was the following inscription: Lumena paxte cumfi.
It was, and is, generally accepted that the tiles were in the wrong order and that the inscription originally read, with the Left-most tile placed on the Right: Pax tecum Filumena ("Peace with you, Philomena").
Within the Loculus was found the skeleton of a female between thirteen and fifteen years old. Embedded in the cement was a small glass phial with vestiges of what was taken to be blood. In accordance with the assumptions of the time, the Remains were taken to be those of a Virgin Martyr named Philomena.

In 1805, Canon Francesco De Lucia requested Relics for a new Altar, and, on 8 June 1805, obtained the Remains, discovered in May 1802 (reduced to dust and fragments), for his Church in Mugnano del Cardinale, Italy, where they arrived on 11 August 1805, after being taken from Rome to Naples on 1 July.
In 1827, Pope Leo XII gave to the Church in Mugnano del Cardinale the three inscribed Terra Cotta tiles that had been taken from the tomb.
In his Relazione istorica della traslazione del sagro corpo di s. Filomena da Roma a Mugnano del Cardinale, written in 1833, Canon De Lucia recounted that wonders accompanied the arrival of the Relics in his Church, among them a statue that sweated some liquid continuously for three days.
The spread of Devotion to Saint Philomena, in France, as well as in Italy, was helped when Saint John Vianney built a Shrine in her honour and referred to her often, attributing to her the Miracles that others attributed to himself. Another help was the cure of the near-dying Venerable Pauline Jaricot, founder of The Society for The Propagation of The Faith, at Philomena's Shrine on 10 August 1835.

Another Miracle, accepted as Proved in the same year, was the multiplication of the bone dust of the Saint, which provided for hundreds of reliquaries without the original amount experiencing any decrease in quantity.
Devotion includes the wearing of the "Cord of Philomena", a Red-and-White Cord, which had a number of Indulgences attached to it, including a Plenary Indulgence on the day on which The Cord was worn for the first time,
There was, or is, also, The Chaplet of Saint Philomena, with Three White Beads in honour of The Blessed Trinity and Thirteen Red Beads in honour of the thirteen years of the Saint's life.
The Prayer suggestion for each is: “ Hail, O Holy Saint Philomena, whom I acknowledge, after Mary, as my advocate within The Divine Spouse, intercede for me now and at the hour of my death. ”
Devotionals are often given to young girls receiving their First Holy Communion or, on the thirteenth birthday, used primarily as a stepping-stone to practicing Devotionals such as The Holy Rosary.

On 21 December 1833, The Holy Office declared that there was nothing contrary to The Catholic Faith in the revelations that Sister Maria Luisa di Gesù (1799–1875), a Dominican Tertiary, from Naples, claimed to have received from the Saint.
According to Sister Maria Luisa di Gesù, Saint Philomena told her she was the daughter of a King in Greece who, with his wife, had converted to Christianity. At the age of about thirteen, she took a Vow of Consecrated Virginity. When The Emperor Diocletian threatened to make War on her father, her father went with his family to Rome to ask for Peace.
The Emperor fell in love with the young Philomena and, when she refused to be his wife, subjected her to a series of torments; scourging, from whose effects two Angels cured her; drowning, with an anchor attached to her (two Angels cut the rope and raised her to the River Bank); being shot with arrows, (on the first occasion her wounds were healed; on the second, the arrows turned aside; and on the third, they returned and killed six of the archers, after which, several of the others became Christians).
Finally, The Emperor had her decapitated. The story goes that the decapitation occurred on a Friday, at three in the afternoon, as with The Death of Jesus. The two anchors, three arrows, the palm and the ivy leaf on the tiles found in the tomb were interpreted as symbols of her Martyrdom.
In these Visions, Saint Philomena also revealed that her birthday was 10 January, that her Martyrdom occurred on 10 August (the date also of the arrival of her Relics in Mugnano del Cardinale), and that her name "Filumena" meant "Daughter of Light". (It is usually taken to be derived from a Greek word meaning "Beloved".)

On 31 January 1855, Blessed Pope Pius IX approved a Proper Mass and Office, Dedicated to Saint Philomena, with confirmation of The Decree Etsi Decimo (Rescript of The Sacred Congregation of Rites, Papal Confirmation of Promotor of The Faith Brief Etsi decimo, as submitted by Rev. Andrea Fratini, 31 January 1855).
On 6 October 1876, Father Louis Petit Founded The Confraternity of Saint Philomena, in Paris, France. In August 1876, the first issue of "Messenger of Saint Philomena" was published there. In November 1886, the Confraternity was raised to the Rank of Arch-Confraternity by Pope Leo XIII. On 21 May 1912, Pope Saint Pius X raised it to the Rank of Universal Arch-Confraternity with the Apostolic Brief Pias Fidelium Societates.
The name of Philomena was not included in The Roman Martyrology, the Official List of Saints recognised by The Catholic Church and in which The Saints are included, immediately upon Canonisation.
In The 1920 Typical Edition of The Roman Missal, Philomena is mentioned, under 11 August (with an indication that The Mass for her Feast Day was to be taken entirely from The Common, so that there was no part, not even The Collect, that was Proper to her) in the Section headed "Masses For Some Places", i.e. only those Places for which it had been specially authorised.

The Rector of the Shrine in Mugnano del Cardinale disputes these findings. After reporting the decision of The Sacred Congregation of Rites in 1961, as resulting from the studies of scholars, the Italian-language Enciclopedia dei Santi says that there still remain the Miracles that occurred and the official recognition that The Church gave in the 19th-Century, the personal Devotion to Saint Philomena of Popes and people who were later Canonised, and the widespread general Devotion that still persists, particularly at Mugnano del Cardinale in the Diocese of Nola, where Pilgrims from all over the World arrive, continually, giving a display of intense popular Devotion.
The Web-Site of "The National Shrine of Saint Philomena, Miami, Florida" sees "the action taken in 1960 as the work of the devil in order to deprive The People of God of a most powerful Intercessor, particularly in the areas of Purity and Faith at a time when these virtues were so much being challenged as they continue to be up until now ! "
Saint Philomena's Church,
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States of America.
Because of the Church's location near the riverfront,
Saint Philomena's Steeple was a well-known landmark on the Cincinnati skyline.
On 7 July 1915, a Tornado damaged the Steeple.
The Parish was closed in 1954.
(Wikipedia).
In his book, "It Is Time to Meet Saint Philomena", Mark Miravalle says that Pope Gregory XVI "Liturgically Canonised Philomena, in an act of the ordinary Papal Magisterium". This contrasts with the usual view that Canonisation is an exercise of infallible Magisterium, declaring a Truth that must be "definitively held".
Of course, lack of Canonisation does not mean lack of Sainthood. Canonisation was introduced only after many Centuries of The Church's existence, and, for that reason, none of the Saints mentioned in The Roman Rite Canon of The Mass was ever Canonised.

The Sacred body of Saint Philomena, a Virgin-Martyr of The First Ages of Christianity, was, early in the 19th-Century, discovered in the Roman Catacomb, known as The Cemetery of Priscilla.
An Inscription and Phial of Blood bore witness to the genuineness of the Relics. The many Miracles since wrought by Almighty God, in favour of those who have Invoked Saint Philomena, have caused her cultus to become widespread in The Church.
The Liturgical Celebration of her Feast was Authorised by Pope Gregory XVI.

Can You Use Your Skills At The Guild Of Saint Clare's Vestment Mending Day ?
This Article is from LMS CHAIRMAN

The Oxford Branch of The Guild of Saint Clare held a Vestment Mending Session on Saturday, 6 August 2016; an example of the kind of work which they can do to support The Liturgy.
There were a number of Vestments from The Norbertine Priory, in Chelmsford, Essex, and an Altar Frontal from Saints Gregory and Augustine Church, in Oxford. The Vestments are not of especially high value. It would not be worth spending vast sums on professional restorers.
But they need careful attention by people with a variety of skills, and an understanding of how Vestments are used, if these very decent Vestments are to return to use.
For example, one Green Low Mass Set's lining was completely worn out, and was replaced. In another case, a high-quality, silk lining fabric was intact but worn out at the edge, so it has been edged with another, appropriate material, at minimal cost in materials.
The Ladies of The Guild were able to combine their experience and skills, on Saturday afternoon, to made a big inroad to the pile of worn out Vestments which Fr Stephen Morrison (OPraem) found in the Chelmsford Sacristy, as a taster of the kind of work for which The Guild was established.
The Guild charges for the cost of fabric and a small amount per hour, to subsidise Members' training.
The Guild is Affiliated to The Latin Mass Society.

The Basilica of Saint Laurence-without-the-Walls, Rome, where the remains of the glorious Deacon are preserved, is the fifth Patriarchal Church in Rome. With Saint John Lateran, Saint Peter's, Saint Mary Major, and Saint Paul-without-the-Walls, it is one of the five Major Basilicas where the Pope, alone, says Mass at The High Altar in order to show that his jurisdiction extends over all the Churches in the World which are under the Patriarchates of Rome, Jerusalem, Alexandria, Antioch, and Constantinople.
[Editor: This next Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia: The four Major Basilicas, and The Minor Basilica of Saint Laurence-outside-the-Walls, all of which are in Rome, were formerly known as "Patriarchal Basilicas", along with a few other Churches outside of Rome. Upon relinquishing the Title of "Patriarch of The West", in 2006, Pope Benedict XVI officially renamed the "Patriarchal Basilicas" as "Papal Basilicas". The five, formerly styled "Patriarchal Basilicas", of Rome, were previously assigned to, and associated with, the five ancient Patriarchates of The Latin Church, or The Pentarchy:
Saint John Lateran was associated with Rome (Patriarch of the West),
Saint Peter's with Constantinople (Latin Patriarch of Constantinople),
Saint Paul's with Alexandria (Latin Patriarch of Alexandria),
Saint Mary Major with Antioch (Latin Patriarch of Antioch), and
Saint Laurence with Jerusalem (Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem).]
Saint Peter's with Constantinople (Latin Patriarch of Constantinople),

Saint Laurence with Jerusalem (Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem).]

Here is held The Station on Septuagesima Sunday, on The Third Sunday in Lent, on The Wednesday after Easter, and on The Thursday after Pentecost [Rome possesses seven other Churches Dedicated to Saint Laurence: Among which Saint Laurence-in-Paneperna, where the Saint was Martyred and where they hold The Station on The Thursday of The First Week in Lent; Saint Laurence-in-Lucina, where part of his grid-iron is kept, and where is held The Station on The Friday of The Third Week in Lent; and Saint Laurence-in-Damaso, where is held The Station on The Tuesday of The Fourth Week in Lent].
The Church invites us, today, to Celebrate in this Sanctuary, The Praises of God (Introit, Offertory) to Whom this Saint bore glorious witness by his Martyrdom.
Saint Laurence was the first of The Seven Deacons attached to the Service of The Roman Church. His duty was to assist the Roman Pontiff when Celebrating The Holy Mysteries, to distribute The Eucharist to The Faithful and to administer the revenues of The Church, which he distributed among The Poor (Introit, Gradual).
Arrested by The Prefect of Rome, in 258 A.D., and called upon to deliver his riches to him, he showed him a crowd of poor people, saying: "These are the real treasures of The Church, by the inestimable gift of their Faith, and because they convert our alms into imperishable treasures for us."
He was laid on a grid-iron, under which were placed half-lighted coals, so as to prolong his tortures and make his death more painful.
"Flames were not able to conquer The Charity of Christ: And the fire, that burned without, was weaker than that which, within, kindled in the heart of the Martyr."[Saint Leo. Sixth Lesson at Matins on 10 August].
Indeed, he said to his tormentors: "You may now turn my body over; it is roasted enough on that side." And, later on: "My flesh is now roasted, you can eat of it." [Antiphon of The Magnificat of Second Vespers].
He died in 258 A.D. His name is mentioned in The Canon of The Mass, among The Roman Martyrs (First List).
Let us always recite, as a Thanksgiving, The Collect of this day, placed by The Church after The Canticle of The Three Youths in The Furnace. She makes us beseech God to extinguish in us the ardour of our passions, as He granted to Saint Laurence, who was tested by fire and found pure (Gradual), to triumph over the flames of his cruel Martyrdom (Collect).
Every Parish Priest Celebrates Mass for the people of his Parish.

The Niagara Hudson Building, in Syracuse, New York, is an outstanding example of Art Deco Architecture and a symbol of The Age of Electricity. Completed in 1932, the building became the headquarters for the Nation’s largest Electric Utility Company and expressed the technology of electricity through its modernistic design, material, and extraordinary programme of exterior lighting.
The design elements, applied by Architects Melvin L. King and Bley and Lyman, transformed a Corporate Office Tower into a widely-admired beacon of light and belief in the future.
With its Central Tower and figurative winged sculpture personifying electric lighting, the powerfully-sculpted and decorated building offered a symbol of optimism and progress in the context of The Great Depression.

The following is a list of Mediaeval Flowers of Our Lady from surviving oral popular Religious Traditions of the U.K. countrysides.
The primary sources are Britten and Holland's Dictionary of English Plant Names (1886) and Grigson's An Englishman's Flora (1958,) both based on local Texts and oral Traditions. Britten and Holland's listing is alphabetical; Grigson's listing is by botanical family, with information of the County location(s) in which each name was found to be current.
An additional source is Dowling's The Flowers of the Sacred Nativity (1900), based on a survey of Religious and Folklore Texts for shrubs and trees associated with Religious Customs and Celebrations.

The Oxford English Dictionary (Second Edition, 1985), which contains the notation under "Lady":
"In names of plants, Lady's . . . is, in origin, a shortening of Our Lady's, and became familiar through the 16th-Century herbalists. In more recent times, Ladies' has, in some cases, been substituted, the change being perhaps assisted by the old spelling "Ladies" of the possessive singular. The designation is usually given to plants of a more-than-usual beauty or delicacy. (Cf. German, Marien-, Frauen-, and French, De Notre Dame)",
The Mary Calendar, by Judith Smith (1930), which is included because it is the source of the list of plants desired for the planting by Frances Crane Lillie of Our Lady's Garden at the Angelus Tower of Saint Joseph's Church in Woods Hole, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA, in 1932 - The Mother Garden of the contemporary Mary Garden Restoration Movement.

A unique aspect of the Old Religious Flower Names from The U.K., as can be seen from the list, is that they preponderantly refer to Our Lady, and, in this, to her Motherhood at The Nativity and in her envisaged life at Nazareth - to her person, her garments and her household articles.

As each of the Nations glorifies God and The Salvation of The World in a special way, England, as reflected in its Religious Flower symbolism, offers the World a special sense of The Nativity of Christ, of Mary's Divine Maternity, and of The Way to Jesus through Mary's Joyful Mysteries.
It is to other Traditions - those of France, Germany, Spain and Latin America - that we turn for additional Flower Symbols of The Passion and Resurrection of Christ, and of The Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries of Our Lady.

THE RAD TRAD on Cluny Abbey III, Zephyrinus felt encouraged to complement it by offering this Post for consideration (previously Posted in February 2013).
Cluny Abbey (or Cluni, or Clugny), Dedicated to Saint Peter, is a former Benedictine Monastery in Cluny, Saône-et-Loire, France. It was built in The Romanesque Style, with three Churches built in succession from the 4th-Century A.D. to the Early-12th Century. The earliest Basilica was the World's largest Church until Saint Peter's Basilica's construction began in Rome.
Cluny was Founded by William I, Duke of Aquitaine in 910 A.D. He nominated Bernoas the first Abbot of Cluny, subject only to Pope Sergius III. The Abbey was notable for its strict adherence to The Rule of Saint Benedict, whereby Cluny became acknowledged as the leader of Western Monasticism.

The establishment of The Benedictine Order was a Key Stone to the stability of European society that was achieved in the 11th-Century. In 1790, during The French Revolution, the Abbey was Sacked and mostly destroyed, with only a small part of the Abbey surviving.

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.
Notre-Dame de Paris, meaning "Our Lady of Paris", also known as Notre-Dame Cathedral, or simply, Notre-Dame, is a Mediaeval Catholic Cathedral on the Île de la Cité in the Fourth Arrondissement of Paris, France.
The Cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic Architecture, and is among the largest and most well-known Church buildings in the World. The naturalism of its sculptures and Stained-Glass are in contrast with earlier Romanesque Architecture.
As the Cathedral of The Archdiocese of Paris, Notre-Dame contains the Cathedra of the Archbishop of Paris, currently Cardinal André Vingt-Trois. The Cathedral Treasury contains a Reliquary, which houses some of Catholicism's most important Relics, including the purported Crown of Thorns, a fragment of The True Cross, and one of The Holy Nails.
In the 1790s, Notre-Dame suffered desecration in the radical phase of The French Revolution, when much of its Religious imagery was damaged or destroyed. An extensive restoration, supervised by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, began in 1845. A project of further restoration and maintenance began in 1991.
