Life

Saint Urbicius lived in the sixth century and struggled beside the venerable Liphardus, whom he succeeded as abbot of the monastery of Meung (Meung-⁠sur-⁠Loire) in France.

Liphardus had been a prominent lawyer in Orléans, who founded the monastery at the age of fifty. Urbicius, after struggling in a way pleasing to God, fell asleep in peace. He is a saint of the undivided Church, from the West, commemorated on 3 June in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
