~Students of mind, without stumbling feet,
Flavianos runs to you God.~
Known for his virtues and spiritual gifts, he succeeded Saint Proclus on the archbishopric throne of Constantinople in the year 447 AD.
In 448 AD condemned with a local Synod, the fallacy of Archimandrite Eutychus, who claimed that Christ possessed only the divine nature, which absorbed the human. Finally, following Eutychus persisted in the error, the synod deposed and excommunicated him.
He, however, having political support as well as the malicious Patriarch of Alexandria Dioscoron succeeded in converging the Synod in August 449 AD. in Ephesus.
In this Synod, the so-called predatory one, everything was pre-planned once morest Flavian, even a mob was recruited with leading monks, and under the leadership of a bearded monster, Archimandrite Varsumas, who invaded the Synod and brutally abused the Saint, who for three days later, he succumbed to the injuries inflicted on him by his killers.
Two years later in 451 AD. at the Fourth Ecumenical Council, the heresy was condemned, Eutyches was excommunicated and Dioskouros was deposed. And the saint’s relic, with great honors, was brought back to Constantinople by Pulcheria, sister of Theodosius the Little, and placed in the church of the Holy Apostles.
