About Eusebius
Eusebius was a Roman catholic priest.
Portrait of a praying Christian in the Catacomb of Callixtus, Rome, contemporary with the life of Pope Eusebius . Pope Eusebius (died 21 October 310) was the bishop of Rome from 18 April 309 until his exile on 17 August 310.
Biography Not much is known about Eusebius's early life, but he was probably a Greek.
As in the case of his predecessor, Marcellus I, difficulty arose out of Eusebius's attitude toward the lapsi.
Eusebius died in exile in Sicily on 21 October 310 N.S. and was buried in the catacomb of Callixtus. Pope Damasus I placed an epitaph over his tomb because of his firm defence of ecclesiastical discipline and the banishment which he suffered thereby. His feast is celebrated on 17 August. The feast had previously been observed on 26 September.
