Crispoldus

Saint Crispoldus (sometimes Cyspolitus, Crispoltus, Chrysopolitus, Italian: San Crispolto, Crispolito, Crispoldo) is venerated as a 1st-century Christian martyr.

[1] He is the patron saint of Bettona, in Umbria, and said to have been the first bishop of that city, although the dioceses of Nocera and Foligno also include his name in episcopal lists.

[3] Crispoldus began to preach Christianity in his diocese, but was arrested by soldiers of the Roman Emperor Maximian (250–310).

[1] The church of San Crispolto was built in the 8th century when the remains of the saint were moved inside the walls of the historic center.

There the silver and gilded reliquary bust of the saint resides in the transept to the left of the main altar.

Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, where Crispoldus' relics rest.
