Who they were
At Lucca, Saint Davinus, who, of Armenian origin, having sold all his goods, is said by tradition to have become a pilgrim for Christ and to have died of illness on his way back from visiting the holy places and the basilicas of the Apostles.
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 3 June as an Armenian pilgrim who, tradition says, died at Lucca returning from the holy places and Rome.
