Sanctus - Saint(e) du Jour
  • il y a 17 heures
Saint Saturnin, aussi appelé Saint Sernin, est l’un des plus anciens martyrs chrétiens de France et le premier évêque de Toulouse. Au IIIe siècle, dans une Gaule encore profondément païenne, il annonce courageusement l’Évangile et rassemble les premières communautés chrétiennes. Son refus de sacrifier aux idoles lui vaut un martyr spectaculaire, traîné par un taureau dans les rues de Toulouse.
Son témoignage est devenu un symbole de courage, de fidélité et d’abandon total à Dieu, célébré chaque année dans le calendrier liturgique. À travers sa vie, sa mort et son culte, il inspire encore aujourd’hui une dévotion quotidienne profonde.
Dans cette vidéo, redécouvrez son histoire, ses miracles, la basilique Saint-Sernin, et une prière pour demander sa protection.

00:00Today, November 29th, we celebrate Saturnin, but also similar names like Cernin, Sarnin and, in some regions, Ninin.
00:10Among them, Saint Saturnin is by far the most famous.
00:14First bishop of Toulouse, martyr of the early centuries, immense figure of evangelization in Gaul.
00:21Saint Saturnin, also known as Cernin in Occitan, is one of the oldest saints honored in France.
00:27He is the first known bishop of Toulouse, a pioneer, a solitary missionary sent to the heart of a still pagan world.
00:36His story is marked by determination, unwavering faith, and a martyrdom that became one of the most famous of early Christianity.
00:46His life takes place in the 3rd century, at a time when proclaiming Christ meant accepting persecution, rejection, and sometimes death.
00:55Saturnin experienced this in the most spectacular way possible.
01:01Saturnin arrives in Gaul sent, according to tradition, by Pope Fabian.
01:06In Toulouse, he discovered a city dominated by the imperial cult and the veneration of numerous pagan gods.
01:14Alone, without political support, he begins his work.
01:18He preaches in the streets, converts entire families, baptizes, and trains new disciples.
01:26His preaching did not go unnoticed.
01:29The pagan religious authorities are worried about this Christian who is gradually turning the people away from their ancient gods.
01:36Despite the tensions, Saturnin refuses to give up.
01:40His courage is impressive.
01:42He knows he is being watched, threatened, monitored, but he continues.
01:48The first Christian communities in Toulouse were born thanks to him and his direct, simple, fiery words.
01:56One day, while he was on his way to a pagan sacrifice on the Capitole in Toulouse,
02:01Saturnin passes near the temple.
02:04The priests see him and call out to him.
02:07They reproach him for the silence of the oracles, convinced that the presence of the Christian prevents their divinity from expressing itself.
02:15They demand that they participate in the sacrifice, that they prostrate themselves before the idol.
02:22Saturnin categorically refuses.
02:24Then, in an indescribable fury, the priests decided to punish him.
02:30They tie the saint by the feet to a young bull destined for sacrifice.
02:35The panicked animal ran through the streets of Toulouse, dragging the saint's body behind it.
02:43Saturnin stumbles on the steps, the stones, the paving stones.
02:47His body is torn apart, but his faith does not waver.
02:51The bull finished its run at the bottom of the Capitol building.
02:54The saint's body, unrecognizable, was left there.
02:57Two young Christian women, pious and discreet, dare to defy the ban.
03:04They come to collect the body, wash it, and bury it respectfully.
03:09Later, a basilica would be built over this tomb.
03:13The famous Saint-Sernin Basilica in Toulouse, still today one of the most beautiful Romanesque sanctuaries in Europe.
03:22The cult of Saint Saturninus spread rapidly throughout Gaul.
03:27Pilgrims are flocking to Toulouse.
03:29Miracles attributed to his intercession are multiplying.
03:33He became a model of missionary courage for generations of bishops and priests.
03:39Even today, his basilica attracts worshippers, tourists, historians and architecture lovers.
03:47He remains a symbol, that of a man ready to lose everything rather than renounce his faith.
03:54Prayer to Saint Saturnin
03:55Saint Saturninus, courageous martyr of Christ,
04:00You who have not feared the violence of men,
04:02Grant us the strength to remain faithful in times of trial.
04:05Protect our families, keep our steps
04:09And make us joyful witnesses of the Gospel.
04:13Saint Saturnin prays for us.
04:16Amen
