Gregory of Elvira, St (d. after 392), Bp. of Elvira, near Granada. An intransigent opponent of
Arianism, he supported the refusal of
Lucifer of Cagliari to pardon those who had ‘Arianized’ at the Council of
Ariminum (359), and after Lucifer's death he became the leader of the Luciferians. Now recognized as an important theologian, his writings are generally agreed to include the
Tractatus Origenis, Homilies on the Song of Songs, and
De Fide, a doctrinal work refuting Arianism. Feast day, 24 Apr.
