Saint Syrus of Pavia
Bishop and Martyr



                     
                                  

1st Century

December 9

Very little is known about him, but Tradition says that he is identified as the young boy who brought bread and fish to Jesus on the Mount for the miracle of the Loaves and Fishes. St. Peter accompanied him to Italy, where our Saint became the first Bishop of Pavia. His Feast is December 9, in the Martyrology, although how and where he was Martryred is not known.

The above image is the most precious of the few depictions that exist.

There is another Sainted Bishop named Syrus, but he was from Genoa in the 4th century.
