I'll grant, JackVk, that few saints have names beginning with " x" (Saint Francis Xavier being one example), but sometimes it wouldn't hurt to include them.
Saint Zozimus (fifth of five saints having this name). Feastday/Memorial: 26 December.
Little is known about Zozimus's life prior to his being elevated to the Chair of Saint Peter. May have been Jewish by birth, and his father may have been named Abram. He tried to expand the powere of the Pontificate, but allowed his personality, and his personality clashes with local bishops, to enter into the matter. A number of his letters survive, as well as a Decree ordering pirests to stay OUT OF taverns. Fought Pelagianism, and Pelagius, himself.
Papal ascention: 18 March (A.D.) 417.
