Life

Saint Justin of Chieti was bishop of the city of Chieti in the Abruzzo region of Italy and reposed around 540.

Few details of his life have survived. The Roman Martyrology remembers him as a bishop illustrious for holiness of life and for miracles, and his veneration at Chieti goes back to a time beyond memory.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 1 January (new style).
