Zechariah of Lyon
Zechariah of Lyon (Latin: Zacharias) was the third bishop of Lyon.[1] He is recognised as a saint by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.[2] His feast day is celebrated on 28 June.[3][4]
Very little is known of his life. He escaped from the persecution of 202 and succeeded St. Irenaeus as bishop of Lyon.
