Martyr and brother of St. Sabina, also listed as Savinian. According to dubious accounts, he was born on the island of Samos and was converted to the Christian faith with his sister, Sabina. He went to Gaul (modern France) and labored to preach the Gospel. The notoriety he gained for his efforts caused his arrest and execution at the command of Emperor Aurelian. He is revered as the apostle of Troyes, where he was beheaded.
