Pope Hyginus (Greek:Υγίνος) was thebishop of Rome fromc. 138 to his death inc. 142.[1][2] Tradition holds that during his papacy he determined the various prerogatives of the clergy and defined the grades of the ecclesiastical hierarchy.

Hyginus institutedgodparents atbaptism to assist the baptised during their Christian life. He also decreed that all churches beconsecrated. He is said to have died amartyr, though no records verify this. The chronology of the early bishops ofRome cannot be determined with any degree of exactitude today.[3][4]

History

[edit]

According to theLiber Pontificalis, Hyginus was aGreek by birth.[3]Irenaeus says that thegnostic Valentinus came toRome in Hyginus' time, remaining there untilAnicetus becamepontiff.[5]

Cerdo, anotherGnostic and predecessor ofMarcion of Sinope, also lived at Rome in the reign of Hyginus; by confessing his errors and recanting, he succeeded in obtaining readmission into the Church but eventually fell back into heresy and was expelled from the Church.[6][7][8][9][10]TheLiber Pontificalis also relates that this pope organized the hierarchy and established the order of ecclesiastical precedence (Hic clerum composuit et distribuit gradus).[3] This general observation recurs also in the biography ofPope Hormisdas. According toLouis Duchesne, the writer probably referred to the lower orders of the clergy.[3]

The ancient sources contain no information as to his having died amartyr. At his death he was buried on theVatican Hill, nearSaint Peter's tomb. Hisfeast is celebrated on 11 January.[11][12]

His feast day in theEastern Orthodox Church is also 11 January.[13]
