Pope Victor I ­ Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Pope Victor I from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 7/1/2015 Pope Victor I ­ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pope Victor I From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pope Victor I (died 199) was a bishop of Rome, and hence a pope, in the late second century. The dates of his Pope Saint tenure are uncertain, but one source states he became Victor I pope in 189 and gives the year of his death as 199.[1] He was the first bishop of Rome born in the Roman Province of Africa—probably in Leptis Magna (or Tripolitania). He was later considered a saint. His feast day is celebrated on 28 July as "St Victor I, Pope and Martyr".[2] Contents 1 Biography 2 See also 3 References 4 External links Papacy began 189 Biography Papacy ended 199 Predecessor Eleuterus The primary sources vary over the dates assigned to Victor’s episcopate, but indicate it included the last Successor Zephyrinus decade of the second century. Eusebius puts his Personal details accession in the tenth year of Commodus (i.e. AD 189), which is accepted by Lipsius as the correct date. Birth name Victor Jerome’s version of the Chronicle puts his accession in Born date unknown the reign of Pertinax, or the first year of Septimius Roman Africa Severus (i.e. 193), while the Armenian version puts it in Died 199 the seventh year of Commodus (186). The Liber Pontificalis dates his accession to the consulate of Rome, Roman Empire Commodus and Glabrio (i.e. 186), while the Liberian Sainthood Catalogue, a surviving copy of the source the Liber Feast day 28 July Pontificalis drew its information for its chronology, is Other popes named Victor damaged at this point[3] Concerning the duration of his episcopate, Eusebius, in his History, does not state directly the duration of his episcopate, but the Armenian version of Eusebius' Chronicle gives it as twelve years. The Liberian Catalogue gives his episcopate a length of nine years two months and ten days, while the Liber Pontificalis states it was ten years and the same number of months and days; the Felician Catalogue something over ten. Finally, Eusebius in his History (5.28) states Zephyrinus succeeded him https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pope_Victor_I&printable=yes 1/3 7/1/2015 Pope Victor I ­ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "about the ninth year of Severus", (201), while the Liber Pontificalis dates it to the consulate of Laternus and Rufinus (197). Lipsius, considering Victor in connection with his successors, concludes that he held office between nine and ten years, and therefore gives as his dates 189–198 or 199. According to an anonymous writer quoted by Eusebius, Victor excommunicated Theodotus of Byzantium for teaching that Christ was a mere man.[4] However, he is best known for his role in the Quartodeciman controversy. Prior to his elevation, a difference in dating the celebration of the Christian Passover/Easter between Rome and the bishops of Asia Minor had been tolerated by both the Roman and Eastern churches. The churches in Asia Minor celebrated it on the 14th of the Jewish month of Nisan, the day before Jewish Passover, regardless of what day of the week it fell on, as the Crucifixion had occurred on the Friday before Passover, justifying this as the custom they had learned from the apostles; for this the Latins called them Quartodecimans. Synods were held on the subject in various parts—in Palestine under Theophilus of Caesarea and Narcissus of Jerusalem, in Pontus under Palmas, in Gaul under Irenaeus, in Corinth under its bishop, Bachillus, at Osrhoene in Mesopotamia, and elsewhere—all of which disapproved of this practice and consequently issued by synodical letters declaring that "on the Lord's Day only the mystery of the resurrection of the Lord from the dead was accomplished, and that on that day only we keep the close of the paschal fast" (Eusebius H. E. v. 23). Despite this disapproval, the general feeling was that this divergent tradition was not sufficient grounds for excommunication. Victor alone was intolerant of this difference, and severed ties with these ancient churches, whose bishops included such luminaries as Polycrates of Ephesus;[5] in response he was rebuked by Irenaeus and others, according to Eusebius.

  • Popes in History
    popes in history medals by Ľudmila Cvengrošová text by Mons . Viliam Judák Dear friends, Despite of having long-term experience in publishing in other areas, through the AXIS MEDIA company I have for the first time entered the environment of medal production. There have been several reasons for this decision. The topic going beyond the borders of not only Slovakia but the ones of Europe as well. The genuine work of the academic sculptress Ľudmila Cvengrošová, an admirable and nice artist. The fine text by the Bishop Viliam Judák. The “Popes in history” edition in this range is a unique work in the world. It proves our potential to offer a work eliminating borders through its mission. Literally and metaphorically, too. The fabulous processing of noble metals and miniatures produced with the smallest details possible will for sure attract the interest of antiquarians but also of those interested in this topic. Although this is a limited edition I am convinced that it will be provided to everybody who wants to commemorate significant part of the historical continuity and Christian civilization. I am pleased to have become part of this unique project, and I believe that whether the medals or this lovely book will present a good message on us in the world and on the world in us. Ján KOVÁČIK AXIS MEDIA 11 Celebrities grown in the artist’s hands There is one thing we always know for sure – that by having set a target for himself/herself an artist actually opens a wonderful world of invention and creativity. In the recent years the academic sculptress and medal maker Ľudmila Cvengrošová has devoted herself to marvellous group projects including a precious cycle of male and female monarchs of the House of Habsburg crowned at the St.

    Church History I: The Early Papacy (c. 64 – 452 AD) “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matt. 16:18-19 NRSV) Milestones on the Development of the Papacy c. 64 – Peter and Paul were mostly likely martyred at Rome in this year during a short burst of persecution against Christians under the Emperor Nero following a devastating fire in the capital. According to tradition, Peter had also been bishop of Antioch before coming to Rome and after leaving Jerusalem. c. 96 – Clement of Rome intervened in a dispute in a surviving letter to the church at Corinth, which we know as I Clement. Some Corinthian presbyters had been deposed and Clement reminded the congregation that the apostles “appointed bishops and deacons in every place” and it was these appointees who gave directions as to how the ministry was to continue. c. 190 – Pope Victor I ordered synods to be held throughout Christendom to bring the date for the observance of Easter into line with Roman custom. He was not successful. The title pope, derived from the Latin and Greek words for father, was used for the occupants of several of the major episcopal sees throughout the empire in this period, such as Alexandria and Antioch as well as Rome.

Understanding Celebrations from Christmas to Pentecost • Epiphany • Carnival • Fat Tuesday • Ash Wednesday • Lent • Palm Sunday • Passover • Maundy Thursday • Good Friday • Resurrection Sunday • Ascension Day • Pentecost Epiphany • Epiphany, January 6, is the official end of the Christmas season, but it also kicks off Carnival season. • Epiphany day is 12 days after Christmas. • Some people fast during the 12 days and then celebrate the Epiphany feast on January 6th. January 6 until Fat Tuesday Carnival • Carnival is a festival held in many, predominately Roman Catholic, countries in the days leading up to Lent. • In contrast to the Lenten season’s forty-day focus on fasting and self-denial, Carnival is a time of excess and self- indulgence—a time to “eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we diet.” • Carnival is the indulgence before the fast, one last binge before having to give something up for forty days. • The most famous Carnival is held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, every year. Other Carnivals are held in Italy, Venice, Uruguay, and Spain, as well as in other parts of Brazil. In the United States, the events leading to Mardi Gras are the equivalent of Carnival. Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras • Mardi Gras, which is French for “Fat Tuesday,” is the last day of a season called “Carnival.” The Carnival season is characterized by merrymaking, feasting, and dancing. • Mardi Gras is the culmination of festivities and features parades, masquerades, and, unfortunately, often drunkenness and shameless debauchery.

She was an East Anglian princess, a Fenland and Northumbrian queen and Abbess of Ely. 1 Life Æthelthryth was probably born in Exning, near Newmarket in Suffolk.

The Holy See is recognized by its adherence at various levels to The Popes: A History organization and by means of its diplomatic relations and political accords with many independent states. According to Catholic traditionthe apostolic see [9] of Rome was founded by Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the 1st century. The papacy is one of the most enduring institutions in the world and has had a prominent part in world history. In some periods of history, the papacy, which originally had no temporal powersaccrued wide secular powers rivaling those of temporal rulers. However, in recent centuries the temporal authority of the papacy has declined and the office is now almost exclusively focused on religious matters. In the early centuries of Christianitythis title was applied, especially in the east, to all bishops [21] and other senior clergy, and later became reserved in the west to the bishop of Rome, a reservation made official only in the 11th century.

    Confirmation Saint Profile (Due at 2/21/2021 class) Your Name: __________________________ Please take time in considering your confirmation name. “Confirmation... imprints on the soul an indelible spiritual mark, the “character,” which is the sign that Jesus Christ has marked a Christian with the seal of his Spirit by clothing him with the power from on high so that he may be his witness.” (CCC 1304) Your patron saint is your companion in faith through their prayer and intercession. Names of saints are chosen to serve as patrons and models for those being confirmed. A confirmand should choose a patron saint’s name, not because of the attractiveness of the name, but because of the attractiveness of the Christian life that person led. “The baptismal name is to be encouraged as the choice of name for Confirmation in order to show the relationship between the two sacraments. However, a special name may be chosen if desired, in which case it should be that of a recognized saint. If the baptismal name is not that of a recognized saint, a new name should be chosen for the celebration of Confirmation” (Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls, Policy on Confirmation, p.102) For a list of Catholic saints listed alphabetically see: https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/saints For a list of Catholic saints listed by patronage see: https://www.catholic.org/saints/patron.php Find out more about your patron saint’s life.

She is one of seven women, who along with the Blessed Virgin, are commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass. She is the patron saint of chastity, gardeners, girls, engaged couples, rape victims, and vir- gins. She is depicted in art with a lamb, as her name resembles the Latin word for “lamb”, agnus.
