Lucanus of Sabiona was a fifth-century bishop associated with the Tyrol and the Dolomites. Often identified as the bishop of Säben, he is frequently, though perhaps incorrectly, linked to Brixen. His life is largely defined by legendary accounts of his travels to Rome to face accusations regarding his leniency toward fasting during a famine. Following his acquittal by Pope Celestine I, he eventually sought refuge in the Agordo valley, where he lived and died. He is recognized as a saint within the Roman Catholic tradition.
