Expeditus
was born in Armenia in the eighteenth century. He was a Christian
martyr, but not much else is known about him. A Parisian convent
received a package from Rome containing a statue and relics
of a saint, but they were unsure to whom the Holy Remains belonged.
The package in which it came was marked “spedito”
or “special delivery,” which in Latin translates
to Expeditus. Whether the relics belong to the poor Armenian
martyr or the good sisters had just been duped by an ironic
play on words will never really be known. The controversial
statue now resides in New Orleans, and the saints name is regularly
mentioned with gratitude in the personal column of the local
paper. Expeditus is also the patron of emergencies and solutions.
His feast day is April 29. |
