From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Paulinus of Trier (died 358) was bishop of Trier and a supporter of St. Athanasius the Great in the conflict against Arianism. At the Synod of Arles (353) he was targeted by the Arians, and was exiled to Phrygia,[1] being effectively singled out by the Emperor Constantius II.[2] He died in exile[3] five years later, but his remains were returned to Trier in 395. His tomb is in the crypt of the city's St. Paulinus' Church, which was rededicated to him.
