Life
Lupus of Carcassonne was a cleric of Languedoc, probably of Carcassonne, who lived in the middle of the 9th century. He is honored as a saint by several Christian confessions.
Nothing certain is known of his life. He is said to have been a canon of the cathedral of Carcassonne, in the time of bishop Liuvila, but this is unlikely, since such a cathedral chapter did not yet exist. His relics are kept in the cathedral of Carcassonne, in a bust reliquary. When it was opened in the 18th century, a parchment was found inside that placed the saint's life in the year 851.
He is a saint of the West, honored locally; the information about him is scant and uncertain, and no Orthodox synodal canonization is known.
