Ever since September, 1659--ten years after the opening of the new _Tesoro_ chapel--an official diary has been kept in it, recording day by day the expositions of the relics; in what state and condition the blood was found when extracted from the _armoire_, or closet; after the lapse of what length of time the change, if any, occurred; what was its course and character; in what condition the blood was, when safely replaced in its closet in the evening; and, generally, any other facts of the day which the officers charged with this duty deemed worthy of note. There are also printed forms in blank to the same effect, which one of them fills out and signs in the sacristy attached to the _Tesoro_, and distributes each day of exposition to those who desire them. We have several in our possession. Another diary is kept in the archiepiscopal archives. It was commenced long before that of the _Tesoro_. We had an opportunity of looking over it. Down to the year 1526, it seems to be made up from previous documents and extracts from various authors. In 1526, it assumes the 34 character of an original diary. Here and there come intervals during which it appears not to have been regularly kept on. These omissions would be supplied from other sources, when, after a time, the diary would be resumed. From 1632 it is complete. We have before us a manuscript abstract of it, from which we will quote hereafter. The church of Naples celebrates three festivals of St. Januarius each year; the feast proper of the saint, commemorating his martyrdom; the feast of the translation, commemorating the transfer of his body from Marcian to Naples; and the feast of the patronage, a votive one of thanksgiving. We take them up in the order of time as they occur each year.
