SAINT EYSTEINN ERLENDSSON, ARCHBISHOP OF NIDAROS

Eysteinn [Eystein](Augustinus Nidrosiensis), of noble family, was born in the first half of the 12th century near Trondheim. Erlend Himalde, his father, was the grandson of Tørberg Arnesson, an advisor to several Norwegian kings.

Eysteinn felt called to the priesthood, was educated at Saint-Victor, in Paris and, when Archbishop Jon Birgersson died on February 24, 1157, Eysteinn was appointed his successor; he then went to see Pope Alexander III in Rome. He received the pallium from him and returned to Norway in 1161. In his new role, Eysteinn established several communities of Augustinian canons regular and consecrated the famous Saint Thorlak. In 1163, he crowned Magnus Erlingsson King of Norway. This was the first time such a ceremony had taken place in Norway.

Saint Eysteinn wrote a Life of Saint Olave, "Passio Et Miracula Beati Olaui". This holy bishop went to his eternal reward on January 26, 1188.

PRAYER:

Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Eysteinn may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
