written to Ebbo, the archbishop of Reims. Death Paschal died on 11 February 824. The Roman Curia refused him the honour of burial within St. Peter's Basilica because of his harsh government of the Roman people. He was instead buried in the Basilica of Santa Prassede, which also contains the famous Episcopa Theodora mosaic of his mother. Paschal was canonized in the late sixteenth century. His feast day in the Roman calendar prior to 1963 was 14 May. It is currently celebrated on 11 February. Pope and Patriarch of Rome (817-824), confessor is honored in Orthodox Church on 14 May.
