Salvator Church

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Salvator Church is the name of churches that are dedicated to Jesus Christ in his capacity as Salvator mundi ( Latin for 'healer', 'savior of the world', savior ).

The day of the patronage is the Transfiguration of the Lord , August 6th, August 19th in Gregorian . The Lateran basilica was originally consecrated to Salvator (324, today Sanctissimi Salvatoris et Sanctorum Iohannis Baptistae et Evangelistae ), and goes back to Emperor Constantine. From the 8th century onwards, the Salvator patronage was particularly popular with the Carolingian emperors, referring to the succession of the Roman emperors. It is also widespread in Spain, for example as the patronage of El Salvador and numerous cities.
