==Personal life==
Vincent of Lérins was born in [[Toulouse]], [[Gaul]],<ref name=Saskatchewan>[http://stvincentoflerins.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=7 "St. Vincent of Lérins", St. Vincent of Lérins Orthodox Church, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan]</ref> to a noble family, and he is believed to be the brother of [[Lupus of Troyes]].<ref name = "catholiconline"/> In his early life he engaged in secular pursuits; it is unclear whether these were civil or military, though the term he uses, {{lang|la|secularis militia}}, may imply the latter. He entered [[Lérins Abbey]] on [[Île Saint-Honorat]], where under the [[pseudonym]] Peregrinus he wrote the ''[[Commonitorium]]'' {{circa|434}}, about three years after the [[Council of Ephesus]].<ref name="Ghellinck1912"/> Vincent defended the [[Mary, mother of Jesus|Marian]] title of ''[[Theotokos]]'' (God-bearer) in opposition to the teachings of [[Patriarch Nestorius of Constantinople]], which were condemned by the [[Council of Ephesus]].<ref name=Saskatchewan/> [[Eucherius of Lyon]] called him a "conspicuously eloquent and knowledgeable" holy man.<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15439b.htm "St. Vincent of Lérins", New Advent Catholic encyclopedia]</ref>

[[Gennadius of Massilia]] wrote that Vincent died during the reigns of the Roman Emperor [[Theodosius&nbsp;II]] in the East and [[Valentinian&nbsp;III]] in the West. Therefore, his death must have occurred in or before the year 450. His relics are preserved at Lérins.<ref name=butler>[http://www.ewtn.com/library/MARY/VINCENTL.HTM Butler, Alban.

He is commemorated on 24 May.
