Feast day: 31 December

Italian original Cite

Also known as: Italian: San Barbaziano

BARBAZIANO, saint - Sarcophagus known as that of St. B. (6th cent.), containing the relics of the saint since 1658 - Ravenna, Cathedral.

BARBAZIANO, Saint. - His cult was centered in Ravenna and Emilia in the 9th century, when a native of Ravenna wrote a life of him that has no historical value (PL 145, 769-75). According to this source, B. was an Eastern priest who came from Antioch to Rome with another priest named Timothy, where he lived hidden for a certain time in the cemetery of Callistus. The healings he performed made him known to the empress Galla Placidia, who wanted him with her in Ravenna. Historically it is probable that B. was a priest of Ravenna, venerated after death as a saint. Feast day December 31.
