Saint Pimenius

Saint Pimenius, also known as Pigmenius, Pigmentius, and Pigmène is a saint and martyr venerated in the Catholic Church.

Life

Pimenius was the tutor of Julian the Apostate, who later became Roman Emperor Julian and tried to revive Rome's traditional state religion. Pimenius ended up coming into conflict with Julian because the former was a Christian. As a result, Julian had Pimenius drowned in the Tiber River in 362 AD. In the Catholic Church, Saint Pimenius is considered a pre-congregation saint, with a memorial on 24 March and a feast day on 2 December.
