Dal lusso alla schiavitù per amore: La straordinaria storia di San Paolino di Nola

Every year on June 22nd, the Catholic Church celebrates Saint Paulinus of Nola (Pontius Meropius Paulinus). In this video, we retrace the incredible life of one of the most fascinating figures of the 5th century: from a wealthy Roman patrician and governor of Campania, to an ascetic monk, to Bishop of Nola. Discover his profound conversion, his friendship with giants of the faith like Saint Augustine and Saint Ambrose, and the family drama that changed his destiny forever. But above all, we will recount his greatest gesture: when he offered himself as a slave to the Vandals to save the son of a poor mother, a miracle that is still celebrated today in Nola with the famous "Feast of the Lilies." We will also reveal why Saint Paulinus is considered the patron saint of bell ringers and the origins of this tradition.
