St. Florian

Berkeley, Monday, April 26, 2026

Feast: May 4.

Day 1: Saint Florian was twice scourged half-flayed alive and then thrown into the Enns River with a stone round his neck. [1] I assume the confession was to be a Christian?

I will learn more in the following days. I see a reference from his times, 304. But I do not know yet if Saint Florian was born in 304 or passed away on that year.
