Biography

Saint Aspren of Naples, revered as the first bishop of the city, stands as a foundational figure in the Christian history of southern Italy. Born into a life prior to his conversion, he was brought to the faith through the ministry of Saint Candida the Elder, a significant early witness in the region. His spiritual journey deepened through a profound connection to the apostolic age; tradition recounts that he knew Saint Peter the Apostle personally, and one story attests to his healing through the saint’s intercession
