Faustinus of Brescia

Saint Faustinus of Brescia
Bishop of Brescia
Born	4th century
Died	15 February 381
Feast	15 February 16 February: Orthodox Church^[1]

Faustinus (died about 15 February 381 A.D.) was bishop of Brescia from c. 360, succeeding Ursicinus.^[2] His feast day in the Roman Catholic Church is 15 February: 16 February in the Orthodox Church.

Tradition claims that he was a descendant of Faustinus and Jovita, and that he compiled the Acts of these two martyrs.^[3] His relics were discovered in 1101.^[4]

Faustinus appeared in the old Roman Martyrology for February 15: "At Brescia, [in the year 350], the holy Confessor Faustinus, Bishop of that see."^[5] He is no longer listed in the 2004 revision.^[6] This may be because of some doubt that the person existed, or because their cult was never approved.
