Who they were
At Milan, the memory of Saint John the Good, bishop, who brought back to his city the episcopal see, which had earlier been moved to Genoa because of the Lombards; for his faith and good conduct he was pleasing to God and to men.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 2 January as the bishop who brought the see of Milan back from Genoa.
