Davinus

Saint Davinus was an Armenian pilgrim of the eleventh century. The surviving sources are few, but they say that he gave his goods to the poor and left his native land for a great pilgrimage: to the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, to the tombs of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul at Rome and, at the end of the road, to Santiago de Compostela.

On the way he fell ill in the city of Lucca and was received in a small hospital near the church of San Michele in Foro. Soon afterwards a charitable widow named Atha took him in, and in her house he reposed on 3 June 1050 (other lists give 1051). He was buried first in the cemetery of San Michele in Foro. After some miracles attributed to him he was placed on an altar of the same church, where he still rests today.

He is commemorated on 3 June as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar. The calendar calls him a confessor.
