Commentary

Lucian, Bishop of Leontini in Sicily (St.)

Octavius Caietanus, our fellow Jesuit, attests in his Idea of the Work on the Lives of the Saints of Sicily, drawing from the records of the Church of Leontini, that the Bishop and Confessor Lucian flourished at Leontini in Sicily in the time of Constantine the Great and is celebrated on this day. Ferrarius also records him in his General Catalogue of Saints, and again with St. Rhodippus on November 7th. Maurolycus records a Confessor Lucian on February 12th, with no place of veneration specified. Whether this is the same person, I am unable to determine.
