'''Saint Eleutherius''' (died c. 189) was a [[Saints|Christian saint]] and martyr, traditionally regarded as a bishop or deacon from [[Nicopolis]], [[Roman Empire]]. Serving in [[Illyricum]] and later in [[Rome]], under the [[Diocese of Rome]], he was executed during the persecutions of Emperor Commodus. His steadfast faith and miracles strengthened early Christian communities. Canonized by pre-congregation recognition, his feast day on September 6 in the [[Roman Rite]] draws devotion to his relics in [[Rome, Italy]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://catholicsaints.info/saint-eleutherius/|title=Saint Eleutherius|publisher=CatholicSaints.Info|access-date=June 2, 2025}}</ref> | |||
