These Saints, Roman Soldiers, noble by birth and illustrious by their virtues, became Christian during Emperor Diocletian's reign. They were arrested and cast into prison and condemned to death and beheaded.
They died in 303 A.D., and their bodies were thrown to the wild beasts, who respected them. They were buried with honour by fellow Christians.
