Life

Eulalius of Syracuse was bishop of Syracuse in the later 5th and early 6th century. He took part, in 502, in the synod of Pope Symmachus. He hosted Saint Fulgentius of Ruspe at Syracuse for several months, as Fulgentius was traveling from Carthage toward Alexandria, and persuaded him to stay, in monastic life and good works. He is commemorated on 16 February and 16 December. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).
