Saint Severus of Vienne (died c. 455) was a priest who evangelised in Vienne, France. He is venerated as a Catholic saint.^[2]^[3]^[4]^{[Note 1]} Severus is said to have been Indian by birth^[5] and of wealthy origins. His entry in the Roman Martyrology reads:^[6]

'At Vienne, in France, St. Severus, priest and confessor, who undertook a painful journey from India in order to preach the Gospel in that city, and converted a great number of Pagans to the faith of Christ by his labors and miracles.'

Severus settled in Vienne around 430.^[7] He founded a church in honour of St. Alban (now the church of Saint-Alban-du-Rhône) near Vienne.^[8] He died in Italy, but his body was brought back to Vienne and buried in the church dedicated to the protomartyr St. Stephen, which he himself had constructed.^[9]

Notes

↑ In principle, those recognised as saints prior to 1050 are common to the Catholic and Orthodox churches, so Severus of Vienne is an Orthodox saint too.
