The requested item for September is chunky soups SEPTEMBER 13th CYPRIAN, BISHOP AND MARTYR (c September 14,258 AD) was a bishop of Carthage and an important Early Christian writer, many of whose Latin works are extant. He was born around the beginning of the 3rd century in North Africa, perhaps at Carthage, where he received a classical education. Soon after converting to Christianity, he became a bishop in 249. A controversial figure during his lifetime, he showed strong pastoral skills and firm conduct during the Novatianist heresy. Novatus was a priest of Carthage who advocated readmitting, with very little penance, those who had renounced the faith because of the persecution of Christians by the Roman government. He was opposed by another party, led by Novatius,sometime Bishop of Rome, that would not condone admitting anyone who had turned from the faith. Both parties elected their own bishop of Carthage in opposition to each other and Cyprian, who readmitted those who sought forgiveness seriously. Cyprian s eventual martyrdom, during a further persecution at Carthage, vindicated his reputation and proved his sanctity in the eyes of the Church. On September 13, 258, Cyprian was imprisoned on the orders of the proconsul of Africa, Galerius Maximus. The day following he was examined for the last time and sentenced to die by the sword. His only answer was Thanks be to God! The execution was carried out at once in an open place near the city. A vast multitude followed Cyprian on his last journey. He removed his garments without assistance, knelt down, and prayed. After he blindfolded himself, he was beheaded by the sword. His skillful Latin rhetoric led to his being considered the pre-eminent Latin writer of Western Christianity until Jerome and Augustine. SEPTEMBER 14th HOLY CROSS DAY. According to legends that spread widely, the True Cross was discovered in 326 by Saint Helena, the Christian mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, during a pilgrimage she made to Jerusalem. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was then built at the site of the discovery, by order of Helena and Constantine. The church was dedicated nine years later, with a portion of the cross

5 placed inside it. Other legends explain that in 614, that portion of the cross was carried away from the church by the Persians, and remained missing until it was recaptured by the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius in 628. Initially taken to Constantinople, the cross was returned to the church of the Holy Sepulchre the following year. The date of the feast marks the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 335. This was a two-day festival: although the actual consecration of the church was on September 13, the cross itself was brought outside the church on September 14 so that the clergy and faithful could pray before the True Cross and all could come forward to venerate it. In her pilgrimage to rediscover the holy sites in Palestine and by her lifting up the Cross for veneration, Helena recalled the church to the tangible reality of love, incarnate, made flesh, in Christ who was born, died and rose again for us, in this space and time, in this particular place. SEPTEMBER 16th NINIAN, MISSIONARY AND BISHOP, (4th-5th century) is a Christian saint first mentioned in the 8th century as being an early missionary among the Pictish peoples of what is now Scotland. For this reason, he is known as the Apostle to the Southern Picts, and there are numerous dedications to him in those parts of Scotland with a Pictish heritage, throughout the Scottish Lowlands, and in parts of Northern England with a Northumbrian heritage. In Scotland, Ninian is also known as Ringan, and as Trynnian in Northern England. Bede says that Ninian (whose name he only renders in the ablative case Nynia) was a Briton who had been instructed in Rome; that he made his church of stone, which was unusual among the Britons; that his episcopal see was named after Saint Martin of Tours; that he preached to and converted the southern Picts; that his base was in a place called Ad Candidam Casam, which was in the province of the Bernicians; and that he was buried there, along with many other saints. Bede s information is minimal and he does not claim it as fact, asserting only that he is passing on traditional information. He provides the first historical reference to Saint Ninian, in a passing reference contained in the final part of a single paragraph.
