Lucius I.
Lucius I (* in Rome; † March 5, 254 ) was bishop of Rome for eight months (June 25, 253 until his death).
Lucius was a Roman . Lucius was immediately exiled by Emperor Trebonianus Gallus . After the violent death of the emperor, he was able to return quickly under his successor Valerian . The schism of Novatian lasted under his tenure. Against the rigorism of the Novatians, like his predecessor, he represented the milder direction in penitential practice.
He is mentioned in several letters from St. Cyprian of Carthage , who praises him as a courageous confessor . Only later legends tell of a martyrdom . Like his predecessors, he found his final resting place in the Catacomb of Calixtus . When they were rediscovered, a piece of his grave inscription was found. His feast day is March 4th. In Roskilde: transfer of the bones: August 25th.
