ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 10th of August
SAINT EPIPHANIUS, 11th BISHOP OF PAVIA
This Saint Epiphanius is the first of that name in the register of the bishops of Pavia; he reigned as the eleventh in the succession, from A.D. 270-274.
Epiphanius never seems to have received his own office at the See of Pavia, and even though there is an Oratio de S. Epiphanio in the appendix to the Breviarium Ticinense, it is not clear for which Epiphanius it is meant. (VI. 543)
