Bishop and Martyr.
A.D. 130 – A.D. 202
Saint Irenaeus, (also known as, Irenaeus of Lyon), was a disciple of Saint Polycarp who was in turn a disciple of the Apostle Saint John.
He took possession of the episcopal see of Lyon in the year A.D. 189, this Holy Bishop is recognized for his works against the false religion of the Gnostics who held that Jesus was not God and true man.
To attack these heresies, the Holy Bishop declared that the Blessed Virgin Mary repaired Eve’s disobedience, with which Our Lord Jesus Christ obtained human nature to redeem it and at the same time maintained the holiness of God.
It is Catholic tradition that the Holy Bishop Irenaeus was martyred.
