[Saint Pancras holy card]May 12
Saints of the Day

Saint Pancras, d. 304, Pancratius
Roman martyr with his relics in England

Fourteen-year-old orphan, brought to Rome by his uncle, Saint Dionysius. Convert to Christianity. Martyred with Saint Nereus, Saint Achilleus, and Saint Domitilla. Pope Vitalian sent his relics from the cemetery of Calepodius in Rome to England as part of the evangelization of England, so they would have relics of the Church at large, and to install in altars in new churches. Saint Augustine of Canterbury dedicated the first Church in England to Saint Pancras, and subsequent churches throughout England are similarly named for him.
Died beheaded c.304 at Rome
