San Cesidio to Bari

Padre Quirino Salomone suggests to "take" St Cesidio from Fossa, a martyr for the Eucharist, to the next Eucharistic Congress in Bari together with the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, both great examples of faith for Abruzzo.
Padre Cesidio Giacomantonio, a missionary in Hoaxa-Xa-Wan in China, on 4 july 1900 was burned alive by a group of local xenophobes. His relics are preserved in a small urn in the convent of Sant'Angelo ad Ocre.
