Random Orthodox Saint

And today's Random Orthodox Saint is:



Louis the Pious, Holy Roman Emperor (20 June 840)

Here are some articles on him:

Patron Saints Index Entry

Biography from Bookrag

Unfortunately, I was not able to find any liturgical propers for him or a vita or something further detailing his sanctity on the Internet. Not that I'm surprised. Most Western Orthodox Saints (and Eastern ones, for that matter) don't get more than a few lines of mention anywhere--in print or on the Web. It's too bad.
