==Veneration==
[[File:Mille Chp1cJPG.jpg|thumb|right|Chapel from 1460 dedicated to Cornelius, in [[Hamme-Mille]], Belgium]]
Some of his [[relics]] were taken to [[Germany]] during the [[Middle Ages]]; his head was claimed by [[Kornelimünster Abbey]] near [[Aachen]].
In the [[Rhineland]], he was also a [[patron saint]] of lovers. A legend associated with Cornelius tells of a young artist who was commissioned to decorate the Corneliuskapelle in the Selikum quarter of [[Neuss]]. The daughter of a local townsman fell in love with the artist, but her father forbade the marriage, remarking that he would only consent if the pope did as well. Miraculously, the statue of Cornelius leaned forward from the altar and blessed the pair, and the two lovers were thus married.

Cornelius, along with [[Quirinus of Neuss]], [[Hubertus]] and [[Anthony the Great]], was venerated as one of the [[Four Holy Marshals]] in the Rhineland during the late Middle Ages.<ref>[http://www.soetele.de/links/quellen/kalvarien/muhresoat/marschaelle/marschaelle.html marschaelle]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ahrdorf.de/html/body_die_kapelle.html |title=Die Kapelle |access-date=2008-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211092415/http://www.ahrdorf.de/html/body_die_kapelle.html |archive-date=2012-02-11 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://heimatbund-st-toenis.de/heilige.htm |title=Heimatbund St.Tönis 1952 e.V |access-date=2008-03-29 |archive-date=2014-10-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141030225623/http://heimatbund-st-toenis.de/heilige.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

A legend told at [[Carnac]] states that [[Carnac stones|its stones]] were once pagan soldiers who had been turned into stone by Cornelius, who was fleeing from them.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://news.therecord.com/Life/Travel/article/320293 |title=TheRecord.com – Travel – Marvelling at Carnac's stones |access-date=2008-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120415042932/http://www.therecord.com/Life/Travel/article/320293 |archive-date=2012-04-15 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.franceholidays.co.uk/france_holidays/brittany.php |title=France Holidays, Brittany |access-date=2008-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003153629/http://www.franceholidays.co.uk/france_holidays/brittany.php |archive-date=2011-10-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The Catholic Church commemorated Cornelius by venerating him, with his Saint's Day on 16 September, which he shares with his friend [[Cyprian]].<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/137950/Saint-Cornelius "Saint Cornelius." Encyclopædia Britannica. 2008. Encyclopædia Britannica Online. 24 November 2008]</ref> His Saint's Day was originally on 14 September, the date on which both Cyprian and Cornelius were [[martyred]], according to [[Jerome]].<ref name="CE"/> Cornelius's saintly name means "battle horn", and he is represented in icons by a pope either holding some form of cow's horn or with a [[cow]] nearby. He is the [[patron]] against [[earache]], [[epilepsy]], [[fever]], [[fasciculation|twitching]], and also of [[cattle]], [[domestic animals]], earache sufferers, [[epileptics]], and the town of [[Kornelimünster]], Germany, where his head is enshrined.<ref name="PSI">[http://saints.sqpn.com/saintc32.htm "Pope Saint Cornelius."] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081023170948/http://saints.sqpn.com/saintc32.htm |date=2008-10-23 }} Patron Saints Index. 7 December 2008.</ref>
