Saint Eleutherius governed The Church during the period that followed the persecution of the Emperor Commodus.

Faith, at the time, made great progress in the whole World. After a Pontificate lasting fifteen years, he died in 189 A.D., and was buried on The Vatican Hill, near the body of Saint Peter.
