Lucius I, Roman Catholic Pope for eight months (253-254), spent a short period of his pontificate in exile. He is referred to in several letters of Cyprian (see Epist. LXVIII, 5) as having been in agreement with his predecessor Cornelius in preferring the milder view on the question as to how the lapsed penitent should be treated. He is the patron saint of Zealand in Denmark, commemorated on the 4th of March.
