Life
Saint Potentianus, hieromartyr, was Bishop of Sens, in France, in the third century. He was a companion of Saint Savinian and one of the first bishops of Sens. He is known for his miracles.
The faithful came to him with diseases of the eyes and joints, and above all to ask for mercy. He is regarded as patron of the town of Châtel-Censoir.
In the year 847 Archbishop Wenilo of Sens moved the saint's relics to the abbey of Saint-Pierre-le-Vif in Sens. The Russian source commemorates him on 31 December, while our Menaion data shows 19 October.
