Catholic Church Marks Saint Zosimus of Syracuse as Saint of the Day

The Vatican saints listing is the source for the commemoration.

Overview

  • El Imparcial reports that the Santoral Vaticano names Saint Zosimus as the Catholic saint of the day.
  • The notice identifies him as a fourth‑century bishop and abbot of Syracuse in Sicily.
  • His story highlights early service as custodian of Saint Lucy’s tomb and a life of prayer and leadership.
  • The article credits him with miracles and works of charity that tradition says led to his canonization.
  • It also includes a conflicting line that places his feast on March 18, creating a date discrepancy that is not resolved, and lists other saints observed today such as Domnino, Regulus of Senlis, John Climacus, and Leonardo Murialdo.
