The miracle of the liquefaction of the blood of St. Januarius, patron saint of Naples, Italy, occurred again on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025.
According to the Archdiocese of Naples, the miracle took place after Mass in the Royal Chapel of the Treasure of Saint Januarius on the feast of the patronage of Saint Januarius.
“At 9:13 a.m. local time, the blood already appeared semi-liquid. At 10:05 a.m., the complete liquefaction was announced,” the archdiocese reported.
December 16 is the third of three annual celebrations in honor of the martyred saint. This date commemorates the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1631, when the Neapolitans requested and obtained the miraculous intervention of Saint Januarius to prevent the lava from engulfing the city.
