Saint of the Day – 23 August – St Flavian of Autun (5th Century) Bishop

Posted on by AnaStpaul

Saint of the Day – 23 August – St Flavian of Autun (5th Century) Bishop of Autun in France. Also known as – Flavichonus, Flavinian, Flavius, Flaviano, Flavio.

Flavian was a Bishop of Autum who presumably lived in the 5th Century. In the chronology of the Bishops of the Diocese recorded in the 6rd Century, he was believed to be placed in the twelfth place, while recent studies places him in the twenty-second place after Saint Euphronius, historically attested in 475 and before Saint Pragmatius, documented in 517.

We know nothing about Saint Flavian, since the existence of this Bishop is attested only through his name. Most historians identify him with the Bishop of Autun, Flavichonus, remembered in the Life of Heptadius of Cervon, a contemporary of King Clovis.

In many texts he is believed to have governed the Diocese after the death of Saint Euphronius which occurred in the year 490.

The memory of Saint Flavian is remembered and celebrated, both in the Hieronymian Martyrology and in the Roman Martyrology on 23 August.
