Quick Facts Saint Flavius Latinus, Martyr and Bishop of Brescia ...

He is said to be the third bishop of Brescia, successor to Saint Viator.[1] This tradition is, however, questioned. Viator of Bergamo is a much later figure, and the reference to his earlier being a bishop of Brescia is doubted.[2] The historical list of bishops of Brescia is not established so far back as the early persecutions in the 2nd century.[3]

He is a Catholic and Orthodox saint,[4] feast day March 24.
