Maternianus of Reims

Saint Maternianus was bishop of Reims in Gaul from 348 to 359, and a confessor of the faith. He died on 7 July 368. He is commemorated on 30 April.

He was the brother of Saint Maternus, bishop of Milan (commemorated on 18 July). He was bishop from 348 to 359. His successor in the see was Donatian.

In the ninth century Archbishop Hincmar found his relics and gave them, according to the Russian source, to King Louis II the German. Another source names Louis I, count of Flanders, so it is not clear to whom they were given. The finding of the relics took place on 30 April, the day on which he is commemorated.

He lived before the separation of the Churches, and so he is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church.
