Feastday: August 15
Died: 430

Bishop and companion of St. Augustine. He was born in Tagaste, North Africa, and was raised as a friend of St. Augustine. He went to Rome to study law and became a magistrate there. When Augustine arrived in Rome, Alipius resigned his post and accompanied him to Milan. There he was baptized with Augustine in 387 or 394 by St. Ambrose. The two were ordained in Hippo, North Africa, and Alipius became the bishop of Tagaste, serving in that capacity for thirty years. Alipius' name was placed in the Roman Martyrology by Pope Gregory XIII in 1584. The evidence of Alipius' sanctity was clearly stated by Augustine's account of his life.

Many years ago I bought my wife a cross necklace with garnets mounted on a gold base. On the reverse is an inscription 'glutinati sanguine Christi con amore 1908'

All I can find is a source relating to St Augustine and his friend Alipius and describing their close friendship. . Does anyone know the significance of the quotation on the reverse of a garnet and gold cross?
