Life

Litifredo I of Pavia was bishop of Pavia in Lombardy, in northern Italy, from 864 to 874, in the 9th century. He is remembered on 8 March.

The sources at hand say little of his life. It is known that he shepherded the see of Pavia and that he has been honored as a saint from ancient times. His veneration was confirmed by Pope Leo XIII on 20 December 1888.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, honored locally at Pavia; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known.
