Palladius

5th century deacon and first bishop of Ireland · Religious Figures · Died 450

Palladius was the first bishop of the Christians of Ireland, preceding Saint Patrick. It is possible that some elements of their life stories were later conflated in Irish tradition. Palladius was a deacon and member of one of the prominent families in Gaul.

Palladius is read about 41 times a day, in 17 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 24 June 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
