Saint Prosdocimus (Prosdecimus) of Padua (Italian: Prosdocimo German: Prosdozimus) (d. November 7 ca. 100 AD) is venerated as the first bishop of Padua. Tradition holds that being of Greek origin he was sent from Antioch by Saint Peter the Apostle. He is thus often depicted in art with this Apostle. The cathedral at Feltre is dedicated to him and Saint Peter the Apostle and the artist Il Pordenone (c. 1483 – 1539) created a work depicting Prosdocimus with Peter.
