St. Michael the Archangel

Feast day: September 29

About the year 525, St. Michael appeared on the summit of Monte Gargano in southern Italy, and directed that a sanctuary should be erected to him. This place became celebrated on account of numerous miracles.

This basilica was consecrated to St. Michael by St. Boniface II., on the site of the Roman Circus.
