BASILICA OF ST CELSUS

MILAN

ITALY

St Celsus and Nazarius refused to sacrifice to Roman gods and were beheaded in Milan, St Celsus is being venerated here and St Nazarius at Monte Gargano.

"It is a better thing to save souls for the Lord than to save treasures.”

- St Ambrose

The basilica of St Celsus is almost hidden and much overshadowed by monumental sanctuary of Our Lady of the Miracles. The photos above are from the nearby church of our Lady and the basilica of St Celsus is visible only in the bottom right corner of the exterior where the cupole of Our Lady's church is seen.
