S. LUCIAN, B. M. AT BEAUVAIS.
[Roman, Gallican, and Anglican Martyrologies; Bede, Ado, Notker,
and others. His date uncertain. As little is known of this S.
Lucian, it is probable that the so-called Reformers retained his
name in the Anglican Calendar by mistake, confusing him with the S.
Lucian of Antioch, Jan. 7th, a much better known Saint.]
There is much uncertainty about this martyr. Some writers maintain that
he was a disciple of S. Peter. Others say that he was sent into Gaul by
S. Clement, Bishop of Rome, at the end of the first century, and
suffered death under the reign of Domitian. It is certain, however, that
he came into Gaul to preach the faith to the pagan inhabitants, and that
he finished his labours at Beauvais, by the death of a martyr. There is
good reason to believe that he was of noble Roman blood, and that he
accompanied S. Denys of Paris, or S. Quentin of Amiens, on his mission,
about the year 245. S. Lucian was accompanied by his friends, Maximian
and Julian. They suffered in different places, and on different days;
but they were laid by faithful disciples in one tomb, and are
commemorated together. S. Lucian is called in some calendars a priest;
but in an ancient one of the ninth century, he is styled a bishop, and
such has been the constant tradition at Beauvais.
In art, he is represented holding his head in his hands.
S. PATIENS, B.
(ABOUT A.D. 152.)
[Roman Martyrology; Martyrologies of Cologne, of Rabanus, Notker,
&c. His life is traditional.]
S. Patiens is said to have been a disciple of S. John the Evangelist,
and to have been sent by him into Gaul. He settled at Metz, where he
became the fourth Bishop.
S. ATTICUS, PATR. OF CONSTANTINOPLE.
(A.D. 425.)
[Roman Martyrology, that of Usuardus and the German Martyrologies.
Authorities for his life, very numerous: Socrates, Sozomen,
Synesius, Palladius, Photius, Nicephorus, Zonaras, &c.]
