The prostrate body of the saint to whom the Church of St. Cyriacus of Ancona is dedicated is an unusual find. The photographer, Bill Thayer, took the pictures during one of his trips through Italy as a favor to our Family History Project. His April 30, 2000 email indicated that the Fair of S. Ciriaco started the next day in Ancona.

www.sanktcyriakus.de mentions the Monastery of St. Cyriaci along with several dozen other references to our Cyriacus at the Baths (of Diocletian). It also discusses the Consecration of the Church of St. Cyriakus in Braunschweig (West Town) Saturday 23, June 1973, indicating another extant church for which we need a picture, along with a good english translation of the original german at the site.

The following is taken from the December 1983 newsletter:
DÜREN, Germany. My next stop after Bremen was this pleasant area west of Cologne. My brother in Christ, Dr. Gertfried G., a chemist with whom I worked when he lived in Neenah during 1968 ~ 1972, now lives just south of Düren in the village of Kreuzau with his wife Susanne and daughter Ulrike. Each year in Gertfried's Christmas greeting he would invite us to visit them. He also said on one or two occasions that he drove past a CyriakusStraße street sign on his way north to Düren, so I had better come and check this out. [ There are many streets throughout the world using one of the 1497+ variations of the spelling of our family name. Grimlinghausen, not far away, has a Cyriakusstraße sign on the way to Dusseldorf. ]
Well, I made it this September. After Sunday morning church at their Evangelical Friedmeinde (Baptisten), we drove down that little street and found the reason for the name. A beautiful church with flying buttresses was at the end of the street and was named after St. Cyriakus, a martyr about 300 a.d. ...

The east end with the chancel and transept of St. Cyriakus is an early church built by Margrave Gero during the time of Otto the Great in Germany (961). (Also referenced at Early Medieval Art & another.) in Gernrode (Saxony=Sachsen) begun by the Margrave Gero in 963 and destroyed at a later date.
Pages 25 & 26 of the Saalman book
have:
"The convent church of St. Cyriacus in Gernrode (Saxony) (plates 23, 24) was begun by
the Margrave Gero in 963 and perhaps completed under the auspices of the
Empress Theophanu after 972. Its continuous transept with side
apses, forechoir and apse as well as a westwork with flanking stairtowers
are a blend of Carolingian and international provincial features.
But the arcaded galleries and alternating pier and column supports,
dividing name and aisles below, introduce an element of color, rhythm and
complication original with Byzantine churches like Hagios Demetrios in
Salonica and still found in ninth and tenth century buildings in the
Bulgarian provinces, as in Mesembria and Ababa Pliska."
The St.
Cyriakus convent church was built in 946; a statue of St. Cyriakus stands outdoors sheltered from the elements; the
Franciscan Cloister and
convent are also located
there. (photos

8/6/10 update:
Although we have found an oustanding, public domain picture of the
reliquary, we don't know the story behind this relic of our Cyriacus at the Baths (of Diocletian).
The red color hints that this may be one of the pieces of cloth used to touch (remains or relics at)
the burial site in Rome and then returned to various locales to satisfy the
need for relics of the saint(s) they honour. We have yet to confirm
that this St. Cyriakus kirche admits to having this relic -
their web site appears not to mention it.

During the first eight days of August, Ibiza Old Town becomes
the focus of attention for the whole island, with street music and
performances in the main squares. Traditional religious events include
the Day of the Virgin (Aug 5) and Sant Ciriac (Aug 8) - the latter marking the Catalan
conquest of the island from the Moors in 1235 with traditional dancing (ball
pagès) - while watermelon eating forms part of the celebration in Es
Soto.
