Saint Paschasius of Vienne ( French: Paschase) was a bishop of Vienne in the Dauphiné, France, in the early fourth century. [1] He is venerated as a saint of the Catholic Church. [2]
The various chronologies of the bishops of Vienne mostly place him between Saint Simplicius and Saint Claudius. [3] [4] [5]
Paschasius is said to have been the recipient of a papal bull dating from approximately 322 from Pope Sylvester I (c. 314–335), which granted him supremacy over seven provinces, although the authenticity of this document has been called into question. [3]
In the Chronicles of Archbishop Ado of Vienne (died 875), he writes that it was Paschasius who instigated the "first translation of the [relics of] saints Felician, Exuperius and Severinus", martyrs at Vienne under Marcus Aurelius. He further describes him as a very eloquent speaker ("vir dissertissimus") who was the teacher of Justus, the future bishop of Lyon. [4]
His feast day is celebrated on 22 February. [2]
