Successus

Holy Hieromartyr Successus was a bishop and died a martyr at Carthage in the third century; he took part in the council of Carthage of the year 256.

The sources say little about his life. The old martyrologies commemorate him on 18 January, on the same day as Lucius and Paul, the other martyrs of Carthage. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured in Western calendars, without synodal canonization.
