Saint of the Day Quote: Saint Titian of Oderzo

Saint Titian of Oderz was born in the Italian nobility. He was educated by Bishop Floriano of Oderzo. Later became a priest and a treasurer in the diocese of Oderzo. Titian was known for his charity. When Floriano was assigned to another diocese, Titian was chosen by popular acclaim as the reluctant new bishop of Oderzo; he tried to persuade Floriano to return but eventually took over the see. He was a model of religious life and shepherd to his people, noted for his ability as a preacher. Fought against Arianism. He died on 16 January 632 in Oderzo, Italy of natural causes and was buried in the cathedral of Oderzo, which no longer exists. His relics were re-interred in a bronze Byzantine sarcophagus in Vittorio Veneto.
