The English equivalent of the Spanish proper noun 'San Silvestro' is Saint Sylvester. The name forms part of the title of two churches in Rome: San Silvestro in Capite, and San Silvestro al Quirinale. But the most famous application is as the name of the venerated Pope Sylvester I [d. December 31, 335], who reigned January 31, 314-December 31, 335. For he was the first Bishop of Rome to so call himself Pope. And it was during his papal years that the great churches of Rome were built: the Basilica of St. John Lateran, Saint Peter's Basilica, and Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. St. Sylvester's feast day falls on New Year's Eve for Roman Catholics, January 2nd for Eastern Orthodox Christians. But throughout Europe, New Year's Eve still may be referred to as Saint Sylvester's Day, or as the Feast of Saint Sylvester.
