Saint of the Day – 15 October – Saint Sabinus (Died c760) Bishop of Catania, Sicily

Posted on by AnaStpaul

Saint of the Day – 15 October – Saint Sabinus (Died c760) Bishop of Catania, Sicily, Hermit. Sabinus, in the list of Bishops of Catania, he is ranked in the 16th place after Saint James and before Saint Leo II.

Sabinus is remembered as one of the most esteemed and appreciated Bishops of Catania. We do not know how long his Episcopate lasted but we do know that at a certain point, burdened by the management of the Diocese, he decided to retire to a Monastery on the slopes of Mount Etna to devote himself completely to prayer. His choice of the ascetic life was imitated by some of his disciples who followed him and sought him as their teacher.

We do not know precisely the location of his retirement, only a few hagiographers have identified the location as the territory of the ancient district, immersed in the peace and tranquility of the local woods, called Zafferana Etna.

Saint Sabinus died there on 15 October 760.
The little information on the life of Saint Sabinus comes from the life of his successor, St Leo II.
