On 20 August 1996, Rude Awakening bassist Robert Ryder held " A Celebration of the Life of Philip Lynott " at the Palace in Hollywood, California at the request of Lynott's mother, Philomena, to commemorate both Phil Lynott's birthday and the tenth year of his passing.

Among the names that disappeared from the Roman Missal was that of St Philomena: her liturgical celebration had never been admitted to the General Roman Calendar, but from 1920 it had been included ( with an indication that the Mass was to be taken entirely from the common ) in the section headed " Masses for some places ", i. e. only those places for which it had been specially authorized ; but her name had already in 1961 been ordered to be removed from all liturgical calendars.

Saint Philomena is, as believed by her devotees within the Catholic Church, a young virgin martyr whose remains were discovered in 1802 in the Catacombs of Priscilla.

Three tiles enclosing the tomb bore an inscription that was taken to indicate that her name ( in the Latin of the inscription ) was Filumena, the English form of which is Philomena.

On 14 February 1961, the Holy See ordered that the name of Saint Philomena be removed from all liturgical calendars that mentioned her.

Devotees of Saint Philomena use a truncated version of rosary in their special devotions to her.

According to Sister Maria Luisa di Gesù, Saint Philomena told her she was the daughter of a king in Greece who, with his wife, had converted to Christianity.

The Emperor fell in love with the young Philomena and, when she refused to be his wife, subjected her to a series of torments: scourging, from whose effects two angels cured her ; drowning with an anchor attached to her ( two angels cut the rope and raised her to the river bank ); being shot with arrows, ( on the first occasion her wounds were healed ; on the second, the arrows turned aside ; and on the third, they returned and killed six of the archers, after which, several of the others became Christians ).

In these visions, Saint Philomena also revealed that her birthday was 10 January, that her martyrdom occurred on 10 August ( the date also of the arrival of her relics in Mugnano del Cardinale ), and that her name " Filumena " meant " daughter of light ".

In the 1920 typical edition of the Roman Missal Philomena is mentioned, under 11 August ( with an indication that the Mass for her feastday was to be taken entirely from the common, so that there was no part, not even the collect, that was proper to her ) in the section headed " Masses for some places ", i. e. only those places for which it had been specially authorized.

On 14 February 1961, the Holy See ordered that the name of Saint Philomena be removed from all liturgical calendars that mentioned her.

" This action did not call into question her existence or sainthood, nor prohibit popular devotion to Saint Philomena.

For many, the 1961 withdrawal of Pope Gregory XVI's 1837 authorization of liturgical veneration of Saint Philomena in a limited number of places ( which was not an official declaration that she never existed nor that she is not a saint ) merely means that the situation has returned to that existing before 1837, when in many places there was fervent devotion to her, accompanied only by vague speculation about the circumstances of her life and death or by belief in the revelations of the Neapolitan nun.

She has a benefactress in Philomena Guinea, a formerly successful fiction writer ( based on Olive Higgins Prouty ), who will, later during Esther's hospitalization, pay for some of her treatments.

Her stay at the private institution is funded by her benefactress, Philomena Guinea.

Máire Philomena Ní Bhraonáin () was born and grew up as the eldest child of a very musical family in the remote parish of Gweedore ( Gaoth Dobhair ), in Ireland's northernmost county, Donegal, a Gaeltacht area in which the Irish language and tradition continue to flourish.

It was and is generally accepted that the tiles were in a wrong order and that the inscription originally read, with the leftmost tile placed on the right: pax tecum Filumena ( i. e. " Peace with you, Philomena ").

In accordance with the assumptions of the time, the remains were taken to be those of a virgin martyr named Philomena.

Devotion includes the wearing of the " Cord of Philomena ", a red and white cord, which had a number of indulgences attached to it, including a plenary indulgence on the day on which the cord was worn for the first time, indulgences that were not renewed in the 1967 general revision of the discipline concerning them.

The questions were raised in particular by Orazio Marucchi, whose conclusions won the support of Johann Peter Kirsch, an archaeologist and ecclesiastical historian who is the author of the article on Philomena in the Catholic Encyclopedia, an article that has won the support of the historian William Carroll ; but according to Mark Miravalle the conclusions have been rejected by others.

After reporting the decision of the Sacred Congregation of Rites in 1961 as resulting from the studies of scholars, the Italian-language Enciclopedia dei Santi says that there still remain the miracles that occurred and the official recognition that the Church gave in the nineteenth century, the personal devotion to Saint Philomena of popes and people who were later canonized, and the widespread general devotion that still persists, particularly at Mugnano del Cardinale in the Diocese of Nola, where pilgrims from all over the world arrive continually, giving a display of intense popular devotion.

The website of " The National Shrine of Saint Philomena, Miami, Florida " sees " the action taken in 1960 as the work of the devil in order to deprive the people of God of a most powerful Intercessor, particularly in the areas of purity and faith at a time when these virtues were so much being challenged as they continue to be up until now!

In 1833 a Neapolitan nun reported that in a vision Saint Philomena had revealed that she was a Greek princess martyred at 13 years of age by Diocletian, who was Roman Emperor from 284 to 305 ( see below ).

On 31 January 1855, Pope Pius IX approved a proper Mass and office dedicated to St Philomena with confirmation of the decree Etsi Decimo ( Rescript of the Sacred Congregation of Rites, Papal Confirmation of Promotor of the Faith Brief Etsi decimo as submitted by Rev.

The name of this Philomena was not included in the Roman Martyrology, the official list of saints recognized by the Catholic Church and in which the saints are included immediately upon canonization.

The Holy See's instruction to remove the name of Philomena even from local calendars followed the raising of questions by certain scholars, whose interest had been drawn to the phenomenon more especially in connection with the revelations of Sister Maria Luisa di Gesù.

That St Philomena was " never canonized " is stated in the Jesuit publication America and by Michael Williams in Commonweal.
