| Saints Tryphon, Respicius and Nympha, orate pro nobis |
Fac nos, quæsumus, Dómine, sanctórum Mártyrum tuórum Tryphónis, Respícli et Nymphæ semper festa sectári: quorum suffrágiis, protectiónis tuæ dona sentiámus. Per Dóminum.
November 10th is the Feast of San Trifone, San Respicio and Santa Ninfa, Martyrs. Venerated across Southern Italy, San Trifone is the principal patron of Adelfia–Montrone (BA), Marzano di Nola (AV), Alessano (LE) and Pulsano (TA), among others. Over the centuries, his relics have found their way to several locations throughout Southern Italy, including Ravello (SA), Altilia (KR) and Cerignola (FG). In celebration, I'm posting a Prayer to Saint Tryphon, Respicius and Nympha in Latin and English. The accompanying photo of the Martyrdom of Saint Tryphon, with Respicius and Nympha was taken at the Duomo di Ravello in 2010. Evviva San Trifone, San Respicio e Santa Ninfa!
Prayer to Saint Tryphon, Respicius and Nympha
Make us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, ever assiduously to observe the festival of Thy holy martyrs, Tryphon, Respicius, and Nymphia, that we may, by their patronage, experience the gifts of Thy protection. Through our Lord.
