He is venerated as a saint by the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church.Flavian was the guardian of the sacred vessels of the great Church of Constantinople and, according to Nicephorus Callistus Xanthopoulos, was reputed to lead a saintly life, when he was chosen to become Archbishop of Constantinople.During his consecration, Roman Emperor Theodosius II was staying at Chalcedon.

At this council, which assembled on August 8, 449, Eutyches and Dioscuros violently attacked the archbishop. The council reinstated Eutyches and Flavian died shortly afterwards, on August 11, 449, at Hypaepa in Lydia, Asia Minor from the injuries he received from this attack and was buried obscurely.. }
