Sinice de Reims was a 3rd-century French prelate who served as the Bishop of Soissons. Working alongside Sixtus of Reims, he helped spread the faith throughout the regions of Soissons and Reims. After his time in Soissons, he succeeded Sixtus as the Bishop of Reims, a role he occupied between 280 and 286 AD. He is recognized as a saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.
Life and ministry
During his early years as a priest, Sinice conducted evangelization efforts in the areas of Reims and Soissons. He was appointed to the bishopric of Soissons by Sixtus of Reims. Following this period, he transitioned to the leadership of Reims, holding the position for approximately six years.
Veneration and burial
Sinice was initially interred alongside Sixtus. However, his remains were later moved during the 10th century to the Church of Saint-Rémi in Reims. He is commemorated on 1 September, a feast day he shares with Nivard and Sixtus.
