"AT Hippo Regius, in Africa, the birthday of St. Augustine, bishop and famous doctor of the Church. Converted and baptized by the blessed bishop Ambrose, he defended the Catholic faith with the greatest zeal against the Manicheans and other heretics, and after having sustained many other labors for the Church of God, he went to his reward in heaven. His relics, owing to the invasion of barbarians, were first brought from his own city into Sardinia, and afterwards taken by Luitprand, king of the Lombards, to Pavia, where they were deposited with due honors."[14]
The Metropolitan was abducted by a mob incited by Nureddin Pasha on September 9 , 1922 (27 August - OS).

His commemoration was placed on the Sunday before the Feast of the Elevation of the Holy Cross (i.e. September 7-13).[20]
"A great prodigy is related of St. Rumwold, which led to the devotion with which he was honoured after death. No sooner had the infant been bathed in the regenerating waters of baptism than he at once began to speak, and made a distinct profession of the Christian Faith. He died at Sutthun on the 3rd November, and after a few months his relics were conveyed to Brackley, where his festival was kept on the 28th August. Within three years another translation took place to Buckingham, where he was held in honour till the subversion of the Catholic religion."[21] In 2000 a complete Orthodox Christian service to Saint Rumwold was written along with a tone system (Orthodox musical system) with which to sing it which also has more general application. The service is performed on his two feast days which are November 3 (main feast) and August 28 (translation of relics). In 2005 the former church of Saint Rumwold in Lincoln which is now a college erected a plaque to celebrate the connection.
