The Byzantine Legacy
San Vitale
The Church of San Vitale, located in northwestern Ravenna, is a remarkable example of Late Antique architecture. While it was begun when Ravenna was still under Ostrogothic rule, it is Byzantine in style and similar to the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus built by Justinian in Constantinople around the same time. It first served as the martyrium of Saint Vitalis, Ravenna's patron saint, and was later part a Benedictine monastery some time before the mid-tenth century until it was dissolved in It is now one of the eight Early Christian monuments of Ravenna, which were added to UNESCO World Heritage List in

Who Was St. Vital?
St Vitalis of Ravenna
Martyr
Our parish was named after St. Vitalis of Ravenna who was the patron saint of Bishop Vital Grandin, the founder of our parish.
Saint Vitalis was a first century Christian citizen of Milan and the father of twin brothers, and future martyrs, Saints Gervasius and Protasius. He is the principal patron of Ravenna. He witnessed the tribunal of a Christian physician named Ursicinus, who was tortured, and then comdemned to death, for his faith. Ursicinus became terrified at the thought of death and seemed ready to renounce his faith.
Vitalis was extremely moved by this spectacle. He knew his obligation was to prefer the glory of God, and the eternal salvation of his neighbor, over his own life. He therefore boldly and successfully encouraged Urisicinus to triumph over death, saying, "Urisicinus, you who cured others would want to drive into your soul the dagger of eternal death? Do not lose the crown the Lord has prepared for you!" Urisicinus was touched: he knelt down and asked the executioner to strike him. After the execution, Saint Vitalis carried away Urisicinus' body and respectfully interred him.
