Philip Romolo Neri (Italian: Filippo Romolo Neri; 21 July 1515 – 25 May 1595), known as the Third Apostle of Rome, after Saints Peter and Paul, was an Italian priest noted for founding a society of secular clergy called the Congregation of the Oratory. Philip founded the Confraternity of the Most Holy Trinity of Pilgrims and Convalescents, whose primary object was to minister to the needs of the thousands of poor pilgrims who flocked to Rome, especially in jubilee years, and also to relieve the patients discharged from hospitals but who were still too weak for labour.
Gold has long been associated with the church, particularly within Catholicism, due to its status as a precious metal and subsequent association with a royal or divine being. In many churches, gold has been used to decorate or to symbolize important elements of worship, and can also represent monetary offerings. Gold is also symbolic of God and divine authority, love, hope and light amongst some religions, while also representing growth and potential blessing from a higher power.
