Pelusius of Alexandria

Who they were

Commemoration of Saint Hegesippus, who lived at Rome from the papacy of Anicetus until that of Eleutherius and composed in simple language a history of the Church from the Passion of the Lord down to his own times.

At Alexandria in Egypt, Saint Pelusius, priest and martyr.

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 7 April as a priest and martyr at Alexandria in Egypt.
