About this holiday
Saint Justus's Day commemorates Justus, the fourth archbishop of Canterbury. He was sent from Italy by Pope Gregory the Great to England to Christianize the Anglo-Saxons. Justus became the first bishop of Rochester in 604 and was known for encouraging the local Celtic church to adopt the Roman Easter calculation. He also attended a church council in Paris in 614.
