Saint of the Day – 20 September – Saint Clicerius of Milan (Died c438) Bishop and Confessor. Clicerius was the Archbishop of Milan from 436 to 438. Also known as – Glicerius, Glycerius, Clycerius, Clicerio, Glicerio.

The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Milan, St Clicerius, Bishop and Confessor.”

The Statue resides in the Church of Sts Nazarius and Celsus in Milan, near his Shrine

Almost nothing is known about the life and the Episcopate of Glycerius. He was a Deacon of Milan before being elected as the Archbishop of Milan in 436.

He probably had been a tutor of the Western Roman Emperor, Valentinian III, a position which he possibly maintained, evenduring his Episcopacy. He passed most of his reign in Antioch in Syria.

The Relics of our Saint

It is believed Clicerius died around mid September 438 and was buried in the Church of Saint Nazarius and Celsus in Milan. In that Church fragments of his funeral epigraph have been discovered. His Feast Day is 20 September.

Epigraph for Glycerius, reconstructed from the fragments of the original stone, in the left transept of Church of Saint Nazarius.
