Life

Valerius of Alvito was, according to tradition, a Roman soldier and martyr. His relics were brought on 6 June 1656 from the catacomb of Saint Cyriaca in Rome to Alvito, whose patron he is; that year the townspeople called on him against the plague. His feast falls on the Tuesday after Pentecost, moved for the people to the end of the week.
