Epifanio wa Pavia
Mandhari
Epifanio wa Pavia (438-496[1]) alikuwa askofu wa mji huo (Italia) kuanzia mwaka 466 hadi kifo chake[2].
Pamoja na kuongoza vizuri jimbo lake, alifanya kazi ya mpatanishi wakati wa vurugu kubwa zilizosababishwa na uvamizi wa makabila ya Wagermanik nchini Italia. Pia alijitahidi kukomboa waliotekwa na kujenga upya mji ulioteketezwa.[3].
Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Wakatoliki na Waorthodoksi kama mtakatifu.
Sikukuu yake ni 21 Januari[4].

Two of the most significant of these were his journey, as an emissary for the emperor Julius Nepos, to the Visigothic king Euric; and his journey to Ravenna, where he confronted Theodoric the Great shortly after his defeat of Odoacer, and pleaded for the restoration of the civic rights of Roman aristocrats who had supported Odoacer.
