The History of the Worship of Saint Gerard in the Historic Diocese of Csanád

Saint Gerard was a prominent figure in medieval Hungary. He was the confidant of the founder of the country, King Saint Stephen, the teacher of Prince Saint Imre, and the founding bishop of the Diocese of Csanád. His life, his work, his martyrdom and later his cult are frequent themes of church history. The study of his veneration, the development of his cult and its further development gives an insight into the commitment of the historic Diocese of Csanád and its successor dioceses to make the life and work of the first holy bishop of the region known to the faithful of the region. The year 2023 offered an excellent opportunity to revive and briefly summarise the cult of Saint Gerard.
