Turibius of Astorga
Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Saint Turibius of Astorga (Template:Langx; fl. 446, died 460) was an archdeacon of Tui and an early Bishop of Astorga. Turibius was a zealous maintainer of ecclesiastical discipline, and defender of the Nicene Christianity against the Galician heresy of Priscillianism,[1] for which he received a supportive letter from Leo the Great, which still survives.[2][3]
Turibius held a local synod in 446. After his death at Astorga in 460, he was revered as a saint. According to tradition, his relics, along with a piece of the lignum crucis he had brought from Jerusalem, were transferred to the Monastery of Liébana around the middle of the eighth century.[4] His feast day is April 16 in the Roman Catholic Church. He is usually portrayed with a mitre and is not to be confused with Turibius of Liébana.
