St. Zenobius (died
in 417) was a nobleman, who was converted into Christianity as a young
man and became bishop of Florence. He was a friend of St.
Ambrose. According to the legend he had power to heal and restore
dead to life. The most popular episodes in fine arts are: St. Zenobius
revives a child who had been run over by an ox-car; the coffin of saint
while being borne to the cathedral touched an old tree, which immediately
sprang into leaf. St. Zenobius is one of the patron saints of Florence.
