S. GORGO, M.

(DATE UNKNOWN.)

[Gallican Martyrology. Authority:--An account of the Translation of

his relics by an eye-witness in 847, published by Bollandus.]

At Tours, on this day is celebrated the festival of S. Gorgo the

martyr, whose body, found at Rome, on the Appian way, near that of S.

Cecilia, was transported to the great monastery of Tours in 847, and on

the way worked many miracles of healing. The Roman Martyrology names on

the same day another Gorgo, martyr at Antioch, of whom nothing further

is known.
