Feast of St. Zoticus, July 21

 

Italian bishop, he was martyred during the reign of Septimius Severus (183-211 A.D.) for resisting the heretical movement of the Montanists.Who were the montanists? I don't know - I tried to read about them here but gave up trying to understand it.

Zoticus was called "Zots" by his friends.
