Saint John the Good, Bishop

January 10

 Our Saint was named John Camillus, but was known as John the Good because of his great humility and charity. It is thought that he was born in the region of Liguria, Italy. About 641 he was made the Bishop of Milan, being the first Bishop to reside there since the Lombard invasions seventy years before. He died in 669. Bishop Aribertus began devotion to the Saint when he found his body, believed to have been lost. His name in Hebrew means "God is gracious or good". Here he is depicted with Queen Theodelinda, Queen of the Lombards.
