Juvenal of Narni

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Juvenal (d. 369), bishop of Narni in Umbria.

He was ordained by Pope Damasus and was the first bishop in Narni. Saint Gregory the Great classified him as a martyr, but there is no acta to establish this. His legend suggests that he saved Narni from both Ligurian and Sarmatian invaders by calling down a divine thunderstorm. Nothing precise can be said about his life or acts, as his legend is often confused with the lives of others by the same name.

His feast day in the Roman Catholic Church is May 3.
