Life

Saint Cominus lived in the second century and suffered as a martyr at Lyon in Gaul (present-⁠day France). The sources name him as a companion of Saint Pothinus, the first bishop of Lyon, and say nothing more about his life or his death.

He is commemorated on 3 June among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
