Pope Saint Lucius I was Pope from June 25, 253 to March 5, 254.
St. Lucius was born in Rome at an unknown date, nothing is known about his family except his father's name, Porphyrianus. He was elected probably on June 25, 253, and died on March 5, 254. His election took place during the persecution which caused the banishment of his predecessor Pope Cornelius, and he also was banished soon after his consecration, but succeeded in gaining permission to return.
St. Lucius is referred to in several letters of St. Cyprian (see Epist. Ixviii. 5) as having been in agreement with his predecessor Pope St. Cornelius in preferring the milder view on allowing restoration of lapsed penitents.
Tradition claims that he was martyred in the persecution of Valerian, but as that is known to have started later than March, 254, this seems unlikely.
His tombstone is still extant in the cemetery of St. Callixtus. His relics were later brought to the church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, along with the relics of St. Cecilia and others. His head is preserved in a reliquary in St. Ansgar Catholic Cathedral in Copenhagen, Denmark. This relic was brought to Roskilde around the year 1100, after St. Lucius had been declared patron of the Danish region Zealand. Pope St. Lucius' head is among the few relics to have survived the Reformation in Denmark.
St. Lucius' feast day is on March 4. He is commemorated as Pope and Martyr[1]
