Abstract
This study will tackle with the figure of Paulinus of Nola, a Roman senator, and an important figure too during Late Antiquity, for his religious conversion during the primitive Christianity. Through a biographical study the authors delve into this character and his gradual inclusion in the early Church, becoming bishop of Nola. Paulinus was closely linked to the martyr and the saint Felix (3rd century). That is why Paulinus will be the patron of a primitive pilgrimage to the tomb of Felix, introducing patronage for the demands of the pilgrims traveling to Nola, as the repair of the road, the creation of shelters, purchase of offerings, etc.
