Biography
Saint Aspren of Naples, revered as the first bishop of the city, stands as a foundational figure in the Christian history of southern Italy. Born into a life prior to his conversion, he was brought to the faith through the ministry of Saint Candida the Elder, a significant early witness in the region.
