Saint Leucius, Bishop of Brundisium

Life

In Italy. Born in Alexandria and entering a monastery early. He was deemed worthy of great revelations and powerful grace, so that he even raised the dead and cast out demons from men. He was first a bishop in Alexandria, and by a command from heaven he crossed to Italy to the pagan city of Brundisium, which he entirely baptized and in which he built a church to the Mother of God. After much and successful labor he departed to eternity in the time of Emperor Theodosius II, in the fifth century.
