Severus of Vienne - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Severus of Vienne
Born	India (possibly)
Died	c. 455 A.D. Italy
Feast	8 August
Attributes	Holding a devil in a chain^[1]
Patronage	Vienne, Saint-Sève

Severus of Vienne (died c. 455) was a priest who evangelised in Vienne, France. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church^[2]^[3] as well as in other denominations.^[4]^{[Note 1]} Severus was reportedly Indian by birth^[5] and of possibly of wealthy origins. His entry in the Roman Martyrology reads:^[6]

"At Vienne, in France, St. Severus, priest and confessor, who undertook a painful journey from India in order to preach the Gospel in that city, and converted a great number of Pagans to the faith of Christ by his labors and miracles."
— The Roman Martyrology (1916), p. 237

Severus settled in Vienne around 430.^[7] He founded a church in honour of Saint Alban (now the church of Saint-Alban-du-Rhône) near Vienne.^[8] He died in Italy, but his body was brought back to Vienne and buried in the church dedicated to the protomartyr Saint Stephen, which he himself had constructed.^[9]

Notes

^ In principle, those recognised as saints prior to 1050 are common to the Catholic and Orthodox churches, so Severus of Vienne is an Orthodox saint too.
