Maximus of Jerusalem

Who they were

The commemoration of Saint Maximus, bishop of Jerusalem, who, after one of his eyes had been gouged out and a foot burned with a red-hot iron, was condemned by the caesar Maximinus Daia to forced labour; later set free, he was placed at the head of the Church of Jerusalem, where, having become renowned for his glorious confession of faith, he rested in peace.

The miracles

There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 5 May as a confessor maimed and sent to forced labour under Maximinus Daia who later led the Church of Jerusalem.
