Saint Olivia of Palermo ((イタリア語:S. Oliva dì Palermo), ), Palermo, 448 – Tunis, 10 June 463,〔 ''(Sant' Oliva di Palermo Vergine e martire ).'' SANTI, BEATI E TESTIMONI. 10 giugno. Retrieved: 02 February, 2015.〕〔 Daniele Ronco (2001). ''(Il Maggio di Santa Oliva: Origine Della Forma, Sviluppo Della Tradizione ).'' ETS, Pisa University, IT. 325 pages. pp. 18–19.〕 is a Christian virgin-martyr who was venerated as a local patron saint of Palermo, Sicily in the Middle Ages, as well as in the Sicilian towns of Monte San Giuliano, Termini Imerese, Alcamo,〔T. PAPA. ''La chiesa di S. Oliva in Alcamo.'' Trapani 1964.〕 Pettineo and Cefalù. Her feast day is on June 10,〔〔 and she is represented as a young woman with olive branches surrounding her, holding a cross in her right hand. ==Hagiographic sources== Saint Olivia seems to have been sanctified by popular tradition alone as a pious local saint, since her name was not recorded historically in any mainstream Latin or Greek martyrology or Hagiology of the Church.〔〔 Daniele Ronco (2001). ''(Il Maggio di Santa Oliva: Origine Della Forma, Sviluppo Della Tradizione ).'' ETS, Pisa University, IT. 325 pages. pp. 17.〕 The oldest textual sources of her ''Life'' include a Gallo-siculo Breviary of the twelfth century, which records her memory and is still preserved in Palermo,〔 as well as a document in vulgar Sicilian of the fourteenth century found in Termini Imerese, and a ''Life'' contained in a lectionary of the fifteenth century.〔 A venerable icon of Olivia also exists, perhaps of the twelfth century, which depicts Saint Olivia with saints Elias, Venera and Rosalia.〔 There are also references to a church being dedicated to her in Palermo since AD 1310 on the supposed site of her burial.〔〔 Today this is the Chiesa di San Francesco di Paola (''Church of Saint Francis of Paola''). In addition, numerous Lives of this Saint were published in Sicily, both in prose and in verse, and also in the form of sacred representation until the end of the eighteenth century, reflecting the fair vitality of her cult. She is recorded in the Sicilian martyrology of father Ottavio Gaetani (S.J.), as well as in the Palmerian martyrology of father Antonio Mongitore in 1742.〔 A Breviary from Cefalù also contains a detailed entry on her ''Life'' (''Breviary Cefaludes'').〔 The Bollandists published in 1885 the ''Acts'' of Saint Olivia, which they took from the lectionary of the Church in Palermo.〔Analecta Bollandiana, IV, 1885, pp. 5–9.〕 Moreover, Sicily's most illustrious writer of the 17th century, the poet Petru Fudduni (born Pietro Fullone) wrote a poem in 114 octaves about her, while a dramatic opera of Gioacchino Bona Fardella, a tragedy in three acts, was also famous in its day.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olivia of Palermo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
