Saint Januarius is a martyr of the early Church. Each year on his feast day his blood liquefies, after being carried in a procession to the cathedral of Naples. Then the archbishop of Naples, when it becomes liquid, holds it up by the altar for everyone to see. For Pope Francis’ personal experience of this event, see catholicherald.co.uk/news/2015/03/21/blood-of-st-januarius-liquifies-during-franciss-visit-to-naples/
