Lorenzo de Roma, en latín Laurentius (‘laureado’), fue uno de los siete diáconosregionarios de Roma, ciudad donde fue martirizado en una parrilla el 10 de agosto de 258, cuatro días después del martirio del papa Sixto (6 DE AGOSTO). II.2Su nombre se atestigua en los calendarios litúrgicos más antiguos: la Depositio martyrum del año 3543 y el Martirologio jeronimiano del siglo v.4Ambos especifican la ubicación de su sepultura en la vía Tiburtina, y el Martirologio jeronimiano lo califica de «archidiaconus», título que ya antes le había dado San Agustín, quien le dedicó uno de sus sermones (Sermo 302, de Sancto Laurentio).5Por la misma época, el poeta latino Prudencio le dedicó uno de los himnos de su Peristephanon,6 y León I el Magno una de sus homilías.7
Los estudios de Pietro Guidi ratificaron la concordancia de los antiguos martirologios al reconocer definitivamente en Lorenzo al titular de la necrópolis de la vía Tiburtina,8 sobre cuyas reliquias se edificó primero una basílica, y a fines del siglo vi otra subterránea ad corpus.1
La tradición sitúa el nacimiento de Lorenzo de Roma en Huesca, en la Hispania Tarraconensis, aunque también podría ser originario de Valencia, donde sus padres habrían residido un corto espacio de tiempo, viniendo a nacer el santo en esta ciudad. Cuando en 257 Sixto fue nombrado papa, Lorenzo fue ordenado diácono, razón por la cual oficialmente es el santo patrono de los Diáconos, y fue encargado de administrar los bienes de la Iglesia y el cuidado de los pobres. Por esta labor se le considera uno de los primeros archivistas y tesoreros de la Iglesia, así como el patrón de los bibliotecarios.
El emperador Valeriano proclamó un edicto de persecución en el que prohibía el cultocristiano y las reuniones en los cementerios. Muchos sacerdotes y obispos fueron condenados a muerte, mientras que los cristianos que pertenecían a la nobleza o al senado eran privados de sus bienes y enviados al exilio.
Víctimas de las persecuciones de Valeriano destacan los papas Esteban I, degollado sobre la misma silla pontificia; y Sixto II decapitado el 6 de agosto del 258. Obispos como Cipriano de Cartago (decapitado en el norte de África), diáconos como Agapito, o el popular san Lorenzo.
Una leyenda posiblemente creada por Ambrosio de Milán dice que Lorenzo se encontró con el papa Sixto en el camino de éste al martirio, y que le preguntó: «¿Adónde vas, querido padre, sin tu hijo? ¿Adónde te apresuras, santo padre, sin tu diácono? Nunca antes montaste el altar de sacrificios sin tu sirviente, ¿y ahora deseas hacerlo sin mí?». Entonces el papa profetizó: «En tres días tú me seguirás».9
La leyenda dice que entre los tesoros de la Iglesia confiados a Lorenzo se encontraba el Santo Grial (la copa usada por Jesús y los Apóstoles en la Última Cena) y que consiguió enviarlo a Huesca, junto a una carta y un inventario, donde fue escondido y olvidado durante siglos. Los padres de Lorenzo, santos Orencio y Paciencia, sí serían de Huesca, y habrían llegado a la ciudad de Valencia por motivo de las persecuciones.
Según la Vida y martirio de san Lorenzo, texto apócrifo del siglo xvii supuestamente basado en la obra del monje Donato (siglo vi), el papa Sixto II le entregó el Santo Cáliz junto a otras reliquias, para que las pusiera a salvo. En la cueva romana de Hepociana, Lorenzo acudió a una reunión de cristianos presidida por el presbítero Justino. Allí halló a un condiscípulo y compatriota hispano, llamado Precelio, originario de Hippo (la moderna Yepes101112), en Carpetania, a quien entregó varias reliquias, entre ellas el santo cáliz, con el encargo de que las llevara a la familia que le quedaba en Huesca (sus padres vivían en Roma). Precelio llevó las reliquias a los tíos y primos de Lorenzo en Huesca que las escondieron, perdiéndose la pista, aunque algunas tradiciones afirman que el santo cáliz fue depositado en la iglesia de san Pedro de la localidad, de donde sería puesto a salvo por el obispo Acilso cuando huyó en 711 ante el avance de los musulmanes, para esconderse en los Pirineos.13
Aprovechando el reciente asesinato del papa, el alcalde de Roma, que era un pagano muy amigo de conseguir dinero, ordenó a Lorenzo que entregara las riquezas de la Iglesia. Lorenzo entonces pidió tres días para poder recolectarlas y en esos días fue invitando a todos los pobres, lisiados, mendigos, huérfanos, viudas, ancianos, mutilados, ciegos y leprosos que él ayudaba. Al tercer día, compareció ante el prefecto, y le presentó a este los pobres y enfermos que él mismo había congregado y le dijo que esos eran los verdaderos tesoros de la Iglesia. El prefecto entonces le dijo: «Osas burlarte de Roma y del Emperador, y perecerás. Pero no creas que morirás en un instante, lo harás lentamente y soportando el mayor dolor de tu vida».
The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the City and Diocese of Washington, operated under the more familiar name of Washington National Cathedral, is a cathedral of the Episcopal Church located in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. It is the LARGEST COMPLETED CATHEDRAL IN AMERICA. The Congress of the United States has designated the "Washington National Cathedral" as the "National House of Prayer".
The Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation, under the first seven bishops of Washington, erected the cathedral under a charter passed by the United States Congress on January 6, 1893.[5] Construction began on September 29, 1907, when the foundation stone was laid in the presence of President Theodore Roosevelt and a crowd of more than 20,000, and ended 83 years later when the "final finial" was placed in the presence of President George H. W. Bush on September 29, 1990. Decorative and restorative work, particularly of damage from a nearby earthquake in 2011, is ongoing as of 2024. The Foundation is the legal entity of which all institutions on the Cathedral Close are a part; its corporate staff provides services for the institutions to help enable their missions, conducts work of the Foundation itself that is not done by the other entities, and serves as staff for the board of trustees.
In 1792, Pierre L'Enfant's "Plan of the Federal City" specified a site for a "great church for national purposes". However he defined it as non-sectarian and nondenominational. Alexander Hamilton modified L'Enfant's plan and eliminated the "church" and several other proposed monuments and that plan was never reproduced. The working plan for the new city was subsequently produced by Andrew Ellicott and it varied in many respects from L'Enfant's. although the essence remained. The National Portrait Gallery now occupies that site.
In 1891, a meeting was held to begin plans for an Episcopal cathedral in Washington. On January 6, 1893, the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation of the District of Columbia was granted a charter from Congress to establish the cathedral. The 52nd United States Congress declared in the act to incorporate the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation of the District of Columbia that the "said corporation is hereby empowered to establish and maintain within the District of Columbia a cathedral and institutions of learning for the promotion of religion and education and charity."[8] The commanding site on Mount Saint Alban was chosen.[9]Henry Yates Satterlee, first Episcopal bishop of the Diocese of Washington, chose George Frederick Bodley, Britain's leading Anglican church architect, as the head architect. Henry Vaughan was selected supervising architect.
Construction started on September 29, 1907, with a ceremonial address by President Theodore Roosevelt and the laying of the cornerstone. In 1912, Bethlehem Chapel opened for services in the unfinished cathedral, which have continued daily ever since. When construction of the cathedral resumed after a brief hiatus for World War I, both Bodley and Vaughan had died. Gen. John J. Pershing led fundraising efforts for the church after World War I. American architect Philip Hubert Frohman took over the design of the cathedral and was thenceforth designated the principal architect. Funding for Washington National Cathedral has come entirely from private sources. Maintenance and upkeep continue to rely entirely upon private support.
From its earliest days, the cathedral has been promoted as more than simply an Episcopal cathedral. Planners hoped it would play a role similar to Westminster Abbey. They wanted it to be a national shrine and a venue for great services. For much of the cathedral's history, this was captured in the phrase "a house of prayer for all people." In more recent times the phrases "national house of prayer" and "spiritual home for the nation" have been used. The cathedral has achieved this status simply by offering itself and being accepted by religious and political leaders as playing this role.[10]
Its initial charter was similar to those granted to American University, The Catholic University of America, and other not-for-profit entities founded in the District of Columbia c. 1900. Contrary to popular misconception, the government has not designated it as a national house of prayer.
During World War II, monthly services were held there "on behalf of a united people in a time of emergency."[11] Before and since, the structure has hosted other major events, both religious and secular, that have drawn the attention of the American people, as well as tourists from around the world.
Slightly less direct, but equally telling is the 9/11 connection:
The date September 11 in the Gregorian calendar used today almost always coincides with the New Year's Dayfor the Ethiopian and Coptic or Christian-Egyptian calendars. The ancient Egyptian New Year's Day ('1st of Thoth') was originally set to mark the heliacal rising of Sirius which today takes place around August 6 Gregorian (as viewed from Giza/Cairo). So it can easily be said that August 6 is September 11!
As revealed in the recent public 9/11 Commission hearings (spring '04), the President of the United States was explicitly warned of an imminent al-Qaeda terrorist attack inside the US in a PDB (Presidential Daily Brief) memo dated August 6, '01. This was only a month before 9/11 and yet the White House inexplicably took no preventive actions. This was and still is one of the biggest controversies to come out of the official 9/11 investigation so far.
There is a connection between 9/11 and Mars to underscore the emerging nature of the date, Aug. 6.
