Saint of the Day – 2 August – Saint Maximus (3rd/4th Century) Bishop of Padua, Miracle-worker. Born and died in Padua. Also known as – Massimo, Maxime.

The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Padua, St Maximus, the Bishop of that City, who ended his blessed life in peace with a reputation for miracles.”

I believe, St Maximus top row 3rd from the left next to Christ. The Artist is Andrea Mantegna in 1453/1453

Maximus appears as the immediate successor to Saint Prosdocimus (Died c100) being the 1st Bishop and Patron of Padua, in the oldest known list of Paduan Bishops.

Maximus’ name is contained in the 1487 chronilogy of Padua makes him a citizen of the City, who succeeded Saint Prosdocimus in 141 or 143 according to the Venetian Chronicle by Andrea Dandolo, whose life and works he recounted, unfortunately unavailable to us.

He appears on the Altarpiece of Saint Luke kept in the Brera Art Gallery in Milan, with Paduan Saints whose Relics were kept in the Church of Saint Justine in Padua for which Church this painting was intended. See the Altarpiece above.
