Saint Frediano of Lucca
BISHOP



Feast Day: November 18

d. c. 588
St. Frediano was of royal Irish descent. According to Pope St. Gregory the great the Saint became a monk and went to Rome on a pilgrimage. Tradition has it that he was the Bishop of Lucca about 560 and hailed for his virtues by laity and clergy. He was skilled in engineering and strove to lessen the disastrous floods of the Serchio River, working a miracle with a rake by which he scraped a new course for the river, which obeyed his command. He is invoked against floods. His name is from the German which means "bearer of peace."
