San Espedito,Chiesa del Carmine,Milano
Saint Expeditus (or Elpidius[1]) was, according to legend, a Roman centurion in Armenia who became a Christian and was beheaded during the Diocletian Persecution in 303. The most popular legend surrounding the saint says that the day when he decided to become a Christian, the Devil took the form of a crow and told him defer his conversion until the next day, but Expeditus stomped on the bird and killed it, declaring, "I'll be a Christian today!" Expeditus is invoked against procrastination and for speedy solutions, with special veneration in Réunion Island, Chile and New Orleans. He is also an unofficial patron of computer hackers and programmers.
