Santa Fermina<\/strong> (o\u00a0Santa Firmina<\/strong>, \u00e8 equivalente) \u00e8 il Santo Patrono dei Naviganti, di Amelia e di Civitavecchia<\/em>. Ad Amelia<\/strong> la si festeggia il 24 Novembre<\/strong> di ogni anno.<\/p>\n Fermina nacque a Roma nel nel 272 d.C.<\/strong>, figlia di Calpurnio Pisone, prefetto della Citt\u00e0 Eterna. Convertitasi al cristianesimo giovanissima, a<\/strong> 15 anni<\/strong> dovette fuggire per scampare alla persecuzione dei cristiani<\/strong> da parte degli imperatori Diocleziano e Massimiano<\/strong>. Si imbarc\u00f2 lungo il Tevere<\/strong> per arrivare a Centumcellae<\/strong> (l’odierna Civitavecchia<\/strong>). Durante la navigazione si imbatt\u00e9 in una violentissima tempesta<\/strong>, e leggenda vuole che fu lei<\/strong>, inginocchiandosi e pregando Dio, a<\/strong> calmarla<\/strong>. I marinai<\/strong> che assistettero al prodigio la dichiarano subito santa<\/strong>, protettrice dei naviganti. E Patrona di Civitavecchia.<\/p>\n A Centumcellae rimase due anni<\/strong> in una grotta, che porta il suo nome (dove oggi sorge Forte Michelangelo), e predic\u00f2 il Vangelo nel porto. Ancora oggi, grazie a Fermina, Amelia e Civitavecchia sono gemellate<\/strong>, ed ogni anno, tramite le staffette podistiche di S. Fermina, di 107 Km, Amelia – Civitavecchia (28 Aprile) e Civitavecchia – Amelia (24 Novembre), si “scambiano” la fiaccola che accender\u00e0 i ceri votivi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Se stai pensando di visitare i luoghi di Santa Fermina >> Vai alla pagina con gli agriturismi vicino Amelia<\/a>.<\/p>\n Se vuoi visitare l’Umbria e cerchi un luogo perfetto ecco una selezione delle migliori strutture ricettive della regione:<\/p>\n >> Guarda i migliori Agriturismi in Umbria<\/a><\/p>\n >> Guarda i migliori Bed and Breakfast in Umbria<\/a><\/p>\n >> Guarda i migliori Hotel in Umbria<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Saint Fermina<\/strong> (or Saint Firmina<\/strong>, is equivalent)\u00a0is the Patron Saint of the Sailors, Amelia and Civitavecchia<\/em>.\u00a0In Amelia<\/strong> is celebrated on November 24th<\/strong> each year.<\/p>\n Fermina<\/strong> was born in Rome in the 272 AD<\/strong>, daughter of Calpurnio Pisone, prefect of the Eternal City.

\nRimessasi in viaggio<\/strong>, arriv\u00f2 ad Amelia<\/strong> (TR), precisamente in localit\u00e0 Luchiano<\/strong>, dove fu sorpresa dalla persecuzione e martirizzata<\/strong>. La sua fede fu cos\u00ec incrollabile che convert\u00ec uno dei suo carnefici, Olimpiade<\/strong>, che diventer\u00e0 anche lui Patrono di Amelia. Mor\u00ec il 24 Novembre del 304<\/strong>, ed i suoi resti vennero prima seppelliti in gran segreto dai cristiani di Amelia, poi ritrovati nell’870<\/strong> e deposti nella Cattedrale tra i colli amerini<\/strong>. Il 28 Aprile del 1647<\/strong> il Vescovo di Amelia<\/strong> don\u00f2 alcune reliquie<\/strong> alla Chiesa Cattedrale di Civitavecchia<\/strong>, e da allora nel porto laziale viene festeggiata questo giorno ogni anno.<\/p>\n
