Pope Urban, pope (222-230), Born in Rome, Italy, came to the see of Rome in the year that Roman Emperor Elagabalus was assassinated and served during the reign of Emperor Alexander Severus. He had been preceded by Callixtus I and was followed by Pontian.

He is mentioned by Eusebius in his history and is named in an inscription in the Coemeterium Callisti, but of his life nothing is known. The Catholic Church's Breviary (25 May) speaks of his numerous converts, among whom were Valerianus, husband of Saint Cecilia, and his brother Tiburtius, and states that he suffered martyrdom and was buried in the Coemetarium Praetextati. Although he died on May 23, he was buried on May 25, which is celebrated as his feast day.

[edit] Attributes

Urban is portrayed in art after his beheading, with the papal tiara near him. Otherwise, he may be depicted

1. as idols fall from a column while he is beheaded;
2. scourged at the stake;
3. seated in a landscape as a young man (Saint Valerian) kneels before him and a priest holds a book; or
4. sometimes as a pope with a bunch of grapes

[edit] Patronage

He is invoked against storm and lightning.
