Life

Saint Germinian is commemorated on 31 January (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) with the epithet of wonderworker. On the same day the English calendar lists among the Western saints from before the Schism Geminian of Modena, a deacon and later successor of the bishop of Modena, who reposed in 348; he is very probably the same person, but the Greek sources do not say so plainly. If so, he is a saint of the undivided Church.

No further details of his life are found in the sources consulted.
