sepulchral grave of Bishop Nausto
Structure
Inside the old church of Santo Andre I took in Trobe this sepulchral gravestone of the nausto bishop. The inscription reads: "Here rests the Bishop Nausto of happy luck, priest to whom the feeding faith took to the heavens ... He lies in this sepulcher on November 22 of the year 912. May a pious prayer be sent to him". The sepulcral grave has 1106 years old, it was built in 912 Bishop Nausto (also called nasti, nautico or naustino) was bishop of Coimbra in the time of Don Alfonso III. He was born in 867 and died with 45 years and 26 years of bishopric. The bishop was buried in that sepulchral grave and he still being there. The information is from the book “España sagrada”.
