Life
Saint Florian was Bishop of Oderzo, in northern Italy, from about 610. He lived in the sixth and seventh centuries. Very little is known about him.
He is believed to have left his see at Oderzo around the year 610, to preach among the pagans. After him his disciple, Saint Titian, was raised to the see.
Perhaps because so little is known of him, tradition has often confused him with Saint Florian of Lorch, whose deeds are well known. Our sources do not give the day of his commemoration.
