Curiously interpreted heritage, or how a Catacomb saint in Tokaj-Hegyalja became a pope?

Abstract The relics of the Catacomb Saint Urban, which are preserved in Monok, Hungary, were falsely identified as the mortal remains of Pope Urban I in 1983. Spreading of the Pope's patronage of preserving the grapes from the spring frost damage led to the development of his new local cult. The study deals with this misidentification and its consequences, with the circumstances of the baroque reliquary's arrival to the village in 1771, with its procurer and the real reason of the purchase, finally with its translatio to the Holy Cross altar in the chapel located in the Andrássy Castle.
