Eleutherius

Eleutherius was abbot of the monastery of Saint Mark near Spoleto in Italy. Saint Gregory the Great mentions him several times as a wonderworker. He left Saint Mark's for Gregory's own monastery in Rome, where he lived for many years as a monk. He reposed around the year 590. He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.

His commemoration falls on 6 September (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 19 September of the civil calendar.
