Saint Priscus of Nocera

Priscus of Nocera (Nuceria Alfaterna, 3rd century – Nuceria Alfaterna, 3rd century) was the first bishop of Nocera, patron saint of the city of Nocera Inferiore and of the diocese of Nocera Inferiore-Sarno. In the liturgical year its religious anniversary is 9 May, celebrated in Nocera Inferiore great celebrations, being his birthday a city holiday. The first author to write about San Priscus was the Italian bishop Saint Pontius Anicius Meropius Paolinus. In his book Carme or Carmen, vol. XIX, he writes of the cult of San Priscus being practiced in 405 in Nola, as well as in Nuceria Alfaterna. The testimony of Saint Pontius can be considered a terminus ante quem (a Latin phrase meaning the limit before which — the latest possible date an event could have occurred) and helps to date the life of Priscus. /* start https://en.wikipedia.org/ */ .mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:urlright 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:urlright 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:urlright 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:urlright 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;backgr…
