| Found in | Saint Expédit, c1995: p. 11 (Saint Expédit, chef de la légion romaine, décapité sous Dioclétien, au IVe siècle, à Mélitène en Arménie, avec ses compagnons, saints Rufus, Caius, Aristonique, Hermogenes et Galatas; leur fête au martyrologue: le 19 avril) Holweck, F.G. A biog. dict. of the saints, 1990 (Expeditus, pretended name of a martyr who suffered with Hermogenes and 5 companions at Melitene in Armenia; the Bollandist Delahaye shows that not even the name can be established with certainty, but is a copyist error for "Helpidi"; the veneration of S. Expeditus as "a sure expedient in pressing and desperate affairs" originated about 1700; in our time Rome has taken measures against the extravagances of this cult; F. 19 Apr. Rom. Mart.) |
