Who is Santo Expedito
Expedito was a martyr who lived in the Roman Empire, a Roman soldier who lived a life in excess that he left shortly after converting to God. A fact that marks the life of the saint is his encounter with an evil spirit in the form of a raven that repeatedly said "crás", which means Tomorrow in Latin. Expedito then stomped on the raven and said "Hodie", today in Latin, avoiding the postponement of his conversion.
Because of this episode it is that Holy Expedite is considered the saint of the most urgent causes, because he did not leave his conversion later, even being tormented by an evil spirit.
