Eleuchadius
Eleuchadius (also: Eleucadius ) († 112 in Ravenna ) was an early bishop of Ravenna.
Eleuchadius was of Greek origin. He is said to have been converted to Christianity by Apollinaris , the first bishop of Ravenna. Apollinaris was succeeded by Aderitus and after his death, legend has it that the Christians of Ravennas asked God himself to give them a sign of who should become the new bishop. Thereupon a dove appeared and perched on the head of Eleuchadius. He was known for his learning and speaking skills. As bishop, he led the daily and nightly Officium one. After his death in 112 Marcianus succeeded him in the episcopate.
