Veneration
The first four abbots of Cava, founded in the eleventh century, were officially recognized as saints on December 21, 1893 by Pope Leo XIII. Veneration for Constabilis had already existed; however, this had now been officially approved.[1] The first four abbots are Saint Alferius (Alferio), the founder and first abbot (1050), Leo I (1050-79), Peter of Pappacarbone (1079-1123), and Constabilis.
