invoked against witches and devils. In 1450, he was invoked against a plague of insects in the Tarentaise region of France. In 1285, the "Magna Legenda Sancti Grati", a fictitious and anachronistic account of his life, was composed by Jacques de Cours, canon of Aosta Cathedral, to celebrate the translation of the saint's relics. In this account, Gratus was said to have been born into a noble Spartan family. He studied at Athens and became a monk. In order to escape the persecutions in the

Gratus of Aosta


Saint Gratus of Aosta (, ) (d. September 7, c. AD 470) was a bishop of Aosta and is the city's patron saint. It is thought that both Gratus and Eustasius were of Greek origin and that they received their education and ecclesiastical formation from the type of monastic foundation in Italy established by Eusebius of Vercelli, which was modeled on that of the Eastern cenobites. He is known to have signed the acts of the synod of Milan in AD 451 as a priest. Gratus represented the bishop of Aosta

in the palace of Herod. Smuggling it out of Jerusalem, Gratus returned to Rome, where churchbells played of their own accord in celebration. Gratus presented John's head to the Pope; in doing so, the jawbone remained in Gratus' hand. This was interpreted as a sign, and the Pope allowed him to carry that precious relic back to Aosta. Gratus continued to govern the diocese, while periodically withdrawing to a hermitage with Jucundus. This story was contested as early as the sixteenth century. Caesar Baronius, who

parochial church of Saint-Christophe bears an inscription that reads "Hic requiescit in pace S. M. GRATUS EPS D P SUB D. VII ID. SEPTEMB". His relics are preserved in the Church of Sant'Orso in Aosta. His feast day is September 7. The diffusion of Gratus' cult occurred in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, when his relics were translated from the Paleochristian St. Laurence church (in Aosta) to the collegiate church of Sant'Orso. Some of his relics lie there still, in a gold and silver reliquary.

Eustasius of Aosta


Aosta asked Eusebius to have their own bishop some time after 400 AD, and Eustasius was sent to Aosta as the first bishop. Unfortunately, no details of his ministry have survived. In 451 he was perhaps prevented from traveling to the synod in Milan because of advanced age, so he sent as his representative Gratus to the Council of Milan. This Gratus succeeded him as bishop of Aosta and honor a saint and his cult overshadowed the first bishop. Indeed, for a long time the first bishop of Aosta was not celebrated

Gratus of Aosta


One March 27 of an uncertain year, a liturgical feast was introduced in the diocese of Aosta that honored the translation of Gratus' relics. An ancient ritual of pagan origin consisted of a blessing of the earth, the water, and the candles, coinciding with the coming of spring. During the Middle Ages, Gratus was invoked against a series of natural disasters: floods caused by the melting of the winter snows; drought; hailstones; fire; grasshoppers and moles that devastated the fields. As a thaumaturgus, he was

East, he fled to Rome, where he was well received and was sent as an emissary to the court of Charlemagne. A vision experienced at the Pantheon sent him to Aosta. He converted many pagans there and Charlemagne aided him in his mission. By divine command, he was then sent to the Holy Land to find the head of Saint John the Baptist. For this reason, Gratus is sometimes depicted with John the Baptist's head in iconography. He was accompanied by ( or ). Gratus found the relic concealed

, Eustasius, at this council, signing the letter that the assembly sent to Pope Leo I the Great in order to affirm its condemnation of the heresy of Eutyches. Gratus became bishop of Aosta sometime after 451, and presided over the translation of various relics in the city around 470, including those of Saint Innocent, one of the martyrs of the Theban Legion. The bishops of Agaunum and Sion were present at this translation. The year of his death is not known, but the day is: his tomb in the

Ursi (Ours), converted the Chapter of secular canons into an association of Canons Regular of S. Augustine. This change had the support and authority of Pope Innocent II behind it. The first Prior of the Canons of S. Ours was Arnulphus, who later became Bishop of Aosta. Two of his Canons, Aimon de Quart and Walbert, later

became bishops of Aosta as well. In 1134 Bishop Herbert granted the Canons the free administration of their goods, releasing them from episcopal control. In 1135 Innocent II conceded the Canons of S. Ours the right of burial and the right to elect their own Prior. This was confirmed by Pope Lucius II in 1144, and Pope Eugene III in 1146. In the Spring of 1536, John Calvin, the famous Protestant reformer, visited Aosta as he was returning to France from Ferrara. His preaching, however, brought him to

Vettius Gratus (consul 250)


(Gaius) Vettius Gratus (fl. 3rd century) was a Roman senator who was appointed consul in AD 250. A member of the Patrician gens Vetti, Vettius Gratus was related to the consuls Gaius Vettius Gratus Atticus Sabinianus (possibly his brother or cousin) and Gaius Vettius Gratus Sabinianus (possibly his grandson or grand-nephew). In AD 250, Vettius Gratus was appointed "consul posterior", serving alongside the emperor Decius. It is speculated that Vettius Gratus had a son, Gratus, who became consul in

however, he decided to reach out to the regular canonics of the Aosta Cathedral. During this period Émeric was appreciated as a very worthy and pious priest and a friend of the poor. In October 1301 he was appointed the new Augustan bishop by all the canonics of Aosta including the ones of Saint Peter and Ursus capitol and in January 1302 he was consecrated as bishop in Biella by Aimo of Challant, bishop of Vercelli.

then became subject to Milan again, but was restored to Tarentaise. The diocese of Aosta was suppressed by order of the Emperor Napoleon I, in 1802, an order which was given canonical effect by Pius VII in 1803. Although Ursus is sometimes said to have been the first bishop, this is controverted. The first known bishop is St. Eustasius, whose name coupled with Aosta is signed to a letter sent to Pope Leo I by the second Synod of Milan in 451. In the cathedral treasury is a consular diptych of

African sees were severely strained. Around 345–349 under Gratus a synod of orthodox bishops, who had met to record their gratitude for the effective official repression of the Circumcelliones (Donatists), declared against the rebaptism of any one who had been baptized in the name of the Trinity, and adopted twelve canons of clerical discipline. The Council of Carthage, called the third by Denzinger, issued a canon of the Bible on 28 August 397. The primary source of information about the third Council of Carthage comes from the "Codex Canonum

Around the year 650 thirty-eight bishops met in council at Chalon, among whom was Bishop Gratus of Chalon. The council produced some twenty decisions (canons). Bishops Agapius of Digne and Bobo of Valence were degraded from the episcopal order for disregarding church canons. In 674 Bishop Desideratus (Diddo) of Chalon and the deposed bishop Bobo of Valence attacked Autun and seized Bishop Leger, their enemy, who had led a revolt of the Burgundian nobility against Ebroin, Mayor of the Palace of Neustria.

Though initially apprehensive about his safety, Claudius accompanied Gratus and his fellow guards to the Praetorian camp, where he was ultimately proclaimed Emperor. Barbara Levick suggests that, rather than stumbling upon him accidentally, Gratus may have been actively searching for Claudius as part of a faction intent on putting him on the throne.

One of the Canons served as Theologus. There were also fifty-two Perpetual Chaplains and six choir boys (called the "Innocentes").

Gratus was a Roman soldier and member of the Praetorian Guard who played a part in the accession of Claudius to the imperial throne. In the immediate aftermath of the assassination of Caligula in AD 41, Claudius fled and hid himself in the palace near a room Suetonius names as the "Hermaeum". Anthony Barrett suggests that this may have been the "Aula Isiaca", a room in the east wing of the palace decorated with Egyptian motifs.
