Young Ces\u00e1reo studied<\/a> in Alexandria and Constantinople and served as a medical profession<\/a>He was a physician of great prestige. He was physician to several emperors. Julian the Apostate tried<\/a> to return to paganism when he was only a catechumen. Following the earthquake of Nicaea in 368, in which he almost died, he was baptized, left secular work and devoted himself to prayer and the care of the poor. He died in Nacianzo in 369.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nacianzo is the ancient episcopal see of Cappadocia. The city is known above all because the theologian St. Gregory Nazianzen, the eldest brother and one of the Cappadocian Fathers, was born there together with St. Basil the Great<\/a> and St. Gregory of Nyssa. Since the 16th century, Nacianzo has been included among the sees of the Catholic Church, although the position has been vacant since 1999. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other saints celebrated on February 25 are the Italian Salesians Luis Versiglia and Calixto Caravario, bishop and priest, martyred in China. Blessed Roberto de Arbrissel, Sebasti\u00e1n de Aparicio and Cardinal Ciriaco Sancha y Herv\u00e1s from Burgos, beatified in Toledo in 2009. Saint Aldetrudis, St. Nestor of Magido<\/a>martyr, the Mexican saint Toribio Romo Gonzalez<\/a> or St. Walburga.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
