Gaius Julius Cicurinus: Difference between revisions

Almost immediately following his death, a devotional cult arose around Cicurinus, who was venerated as a fair and pious ruler as well as a celebate and sometimes monastic later in his life. By the mid-9th century, he was universally hailed throughout the early [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]] as a model Christian ruler. Although considered a Saint by some as early at 900, formal canonization by the [[Pope]] did not occur until [[1097]], when he was canonized as "Saint Julius of the Caeline". Following his canonization, his remains were exhumed and largely relocated to the under-construction Basilica of Saint Julius in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], though some of his relics were divided throughout the city for construction of new churches, and some were also sent to [[Cálfeld]], the cathedral city of [[Harren]].
