Saint Pancras, Martyr -
Died 304
St. Pancras was a Phrygian youth who
was martyred in the persecution of Diocletian in 304 and buried in
the cemetery of Calepodius on the Aurelian Way. He is shown with a sword in the 20th-century window (shown
here on the left) of St. Pancras Church, Plymouth, England,
presumably because he shares his feast day with SS. Nereus and
Achilleus, who died in the same persecution and who were indeed
soldiers.
Feast day: May 12
