Saint Rufin z Kapui

Rufinus of Capua, also known as Rufus of Capua (Italian: San Rufo), was a bishop of Capua, venerated as a saint, confessor, and martyr. Born in Palestine, he arrived in Capua at the end of the 4th century, where he was consecrated bishop in 410, an office he held until his death on August 25, 423. He was buried in the local Basilica of the Holy Apostles. Over the centuries, accounts of his life have been intertwined with the biographies of Capronius and other namesakes. Evidence of his veneration dates back to the 5th century. Locally, he was commemorated on June 21 and August 24, 25, 26, and 27. He appeared in the Gelasian Sacramentary, and in the Roman Martyrology, he is listed under August 27 as a martyr. Two churches were built in Capua dedicated to Saint Rufinus, and Mantua became a particular site of his veneration, where a relic is kept in the treasury of Saint Peter's Cathedral and he is commemorated on August 19.
