Little is known of the early life of St. Theodore of Pavia. We are first introduced to him as Bishop of Pavia. Theodore headed the See of Pavia from 743 to 778. During his thiry-five year service in Pavia he was subject to great opposition. Several times he was banished from his diocese by the Arian Lombard kings. Undoubtedly Theodore preached against the Arian heresy and was thus punished. Nonetheless, he remained faithful to the end and was eventually canonized. His feast day is May 20th.
