The blood of Saint Januarius liquefied on Monday at a Mass in Naples, where the archbishop sharply condemned the city’s “cancerous mafia culture.”
Archbishop Domenico Battaglia of Naples held up an ampoule containing the relic of the third-century martyr-saint’s blood in the Naples Cathedral on Sept. 19, revealing the liquefaction to shouts and cheers.
“Today the sign of Bishop Januarius’ blood shed for the sake of Christ and his brethren tells us that goodness, beauty, and righteousness are and always will be victorious,” the archbishop said.
