There are at least 4 saints named Zoticus. All were pre-congregational. They lived in the early centuries of the Church before a formal process for canonization existed. Saints were "canonized" by popular acclamation, usually with the approval of their bishop. The formal process for canonization did not start until the 12th century.

Who was st zoticus?

St. Zoticus was born into a noble and wealthy family in Rome. Although he was a wealthy noble, he gave up his position and moved to Constantinople. There, he gave all his money to the poor and orphans and administered a large hospital for their care. The emperor, Constantine always supported St. Zoticus and gave away lots of money for St. Zoticus to give to the poor. Constantine's son, Constantius, wasn't happy that his father was "wasting" all their wealth for the worthless poor and he decided to get rid of the man who was handling this.
