Sylvester_I

Born in Rome, little is known of Sylvester’s early life.  He was ordained by  Pope St. Marcellinus during the peace before the persecutions of  Diocletian. He lived through those days of terror.  Constantine triumphed over Diocletian and Maximian in 312.  He succeeded St. Melchiades as Bishop of Rome and on January 31, 314, Sylvester was ordained Pope .  He sent legates to the Council of the Western Church at Arles.  In 325 AD he sent his legates to the Council of Nice.   Because of his great age, he was unable to attend himself.  Sylvester was pope for 24 years and 11 months. He died in 335 AD.
