Résumé

In April 1462, Pope Pius II solemnly received a famous relic, the Head of Saint Andrew, brought to Italy the year before after Turkish conquests in Greece. The reception took the form of a series of splendid religious ceremonies in the course of which Pius gave two short orations, the “Advenisti tandem” and the “Si possent loqui”. In these orations he expressed the gratitude of Rome and the Roman Church for the visit of Saint Andrew – the pope believed that the saint spiritually accompanied his relic. He also expressed his determination to restore the relic and Saint Andrew to his See in Greece, making it quite clear that this would be one of the goals of his crusade against the Turks. Thus the event became part of papal propaganda for the crusade.
