Saint Faustinus of Brescia | |
---|---|
Bishop of Brescia | |
Born | 4th century |
Died | 15 February 381 |
Feast | 15 February 16 February: Orthodox Church [1] |
Faustinus (died about 15 February 381 A.D.) was bishop of Brescia from c. 360, succeeding Ursicinus. [2] His feast day in the Roman Catholic Church is 15 February: 16 February in the Orthodox Church.
Tradition claims that he was a descendant of Faustinus and Jovita, and that he compiled the Acts of these two martyrs. [3] His relics were discovered in 1101. [4]
Faustinus appeared in the old Roman Martyrology for February 15: "At Brescia, [in the year 350], the holy Confessor Faustinus, Bishop of that see." [5] He is no longer listed in the 2004 revision. [6] This may be because of some doubt that the person existed, or because their cult was never approved.
