Today (18. April) is the feast day of:
Eleutherius, bp. of Illyricum, and his mother, Anthia (d. ca. 125,
supposedly). .....
... By the middle of the fourteenth century the E. of 18. April had also
joined the pantheon of local saints at Porec (Italian: Parenzo) in Croatia,
where he shared a tomb with the local martyr-bishop Maurus (yes, this is the
same M. whose presumed remains had by this time been in the Lateran
Baptistery for centuries) and where of course he was remembered as a bishop
of Illyricum. In 1354 this tomb and its contents became spoils in the
Genoese sack of Porec; they stayed in Genoa until 1933, when they were
returned to Porec. ....
It is to be added:
The church of St. Eleutherius is located in the immediate vicinity of Roman
Parentium (Poreč), mentioned in the documents from 1183 and 1225, on the
site of late antique cemetery.
More on Eleutherius (and Maurus) from Poreč in: R. Bratoľ (1999) and G.
Cuscito (I Santi Mauro ed Eleuterio ..., Atti Centro Ricerche storiche, 16,
Rovigno 1985-86, 13 - 61).
