Saint Quirinus of Rome, or "Quirinus of Tegernsee", is venerated as a martyr and saint of the third century.

According to one tradition, he was beheaded during the reign of Claudius Gothicus (268-70). His corpse was thrown into the Tiber and later found at Tiber Island. [ [http://www.bautz.de/bbkl/q/quirinus_v_t.shtml QUIRINUS vom Tegernsee ] ] Quirinus was, according to another legendary account, the son of Philip the Arab. [ [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12615a.htm CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sts. Quirinus ] ]

According to the legendary "Acts" of the martyrs St. Maris and St. Martha, a Roman martyr Quirinus (Cyrinus) was buried in the Catacomb of Pope Pontian. However, the Itineraries to the graves of the Roman martyrs do not mention him. [ [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12615a.htm CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sts. Quirinus ] ] His legend was later connected with the abbey of Tegernsee in Bavaria, where his relics had been translated in the eighth century, during the reign of King Pippin and Pope Zacharias. [ [http://www.bautz.de/bbkl/q/quirinus_v_t.shtml QUIRINUS vom Tegernsee ] ] However, Quirinus' relics may have been translated instead during the papacy of Paul I, around 761.

Veneration

His feast is celebrated on March 25. Perhaps this Quirinus is meant by the expression "Romæ sancti Cyri" found in the "Martyrologium Hieronymianum" of March 24 (cf. "Acta SS.", III, March, 543 sqq.; Dufourcq "Les Gesta martyrum romains", I, 240).

Quirinus' cult flourished from its center at Tegernsee, and a larger stone church was built in 1450 to house his coffin.
