Saint Hilary of Arles, born around 401–403 in northern Gaul, was a 5th-century bishop whose ascetic zeal and leadership shaped the Church in southern France. From a wealthy family, he rejected secular life to join his kinsman Saint Honoratus at the Monastery of Lérins, embracing monasticism by his 20s. Consecrated Bishop of Arles in 429 after Honoratus’s death, he ruled with vigor—preaching, aiding the poor, and clashing with Pope Leo I over jurisdiction, briefly losing authority in 445. Known for miracles like curing snake bites, he died on May 5, 449, at about 46–48, his sanctity revered in Gaul. | Saint Hilary of Arles, born around 401–403 in northern Gaul, was a 5th-century bishop whose ascetic zeal and leadership shaped the Church in southern France.
