Feastday: January 29
Patron of hotel porters (facchini) in Milan
Aquilinus was born in Bavaria. He left his native land to avoid being made a bishop, went to
Italy and settled in Milan. A vigorous opponent of Arianism, he was so effective in his preaching against the
heresy that a group of Arians murdered him. He died in 650. His
feast day is January 29th.
