Messa Pontificale per il patrono di Anagni e della Diocesi San Magno

Una risposta

1. Warmest greetings from Fr Philip Warner and the people of St Magnus the Martyr in London. Our new virtual tour can be found here: https://www.stmagnusmartyr.org.uk/virtual-tour/

   In 1926 the Bishop of London decided that the dedication of the church was to St Magnus of Orkney, whose feast day is 16 April. However, the church dates from the early 11th century – before the death of that saint – and the patronal festival was celebrated on 19 August throughout the Middle Ages. It is likely that the original patron was St Magnus of Anagni and the feast was introduced into the calendar in England by Adrian of Canterbury https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriano_di_Canterbury in the 7th century.

   Accordingly, we celebrated the feast of St Magnus of Anagni last week with a Pontifical Mass which can be viewed here:
