Abbot Credited Hermit Miracles Naples Napoli Patrons Protecting Agnello
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, Saint Agnellus, also known as Saint Agnello, is depicted as a pious hermit, clad in the traditional brown habit of an Italian monk. The saint, believed to have been born around the late 6th century, is one of the revered patrons of Napoli, or Naples, in Italy. Agnellus is depicted here with a serene expression, sitting in a rocky, natural setting, surrounded by lush greenery, symbolizing his connection to nature and his hermitage at San Gaudioso. Saint Agnellus is renowned for his role as the Abbot of San Gaudioso, a monastery located near the Bay of Pozzuoli, not far from Naples. He is widely revered for his spiritual devotion and miraculous powers, which have been passed down through the centuries. One of his most notable feats is said to be his protection of Naples from the invading Longobards in 596 AD. According to legend, Agnellus appeared in a vision to the Naples' Duke, warning him of the impending attack and urging him to fortify the city walls. The duke heeded the saint's advice, and Naples was successfully defended against the invaders. Throughout history, Saint Agnellus has been credited with numerous miracles, including healing the sick, providing water during droughts, and even preventing earthquakes. His legacy as a protector of Naples and a source of divine intervention continues to be celebrated by the people of Naples and beyond. This image of Saint Agnellus serves as a reminder of the profound spiritual connection between the saint and the city he once called home.
