Life

Saint Eleutherius of Parenzo is venerated as a bishop of the city of Parenzo (today Porec, in Croatia) and is commemorated on 18 April. The accounts of his martyrdom are late and legendary and in fact refer to another Eleutherius, the one of Illyricum. His relics were joined in 1247 to those of Saint Maurus; two cemetery chapels were dedicated to him.

Commemorated the same day April 18
