Satyrus of Carthage
martyr at Carthage
Feast: 7 March (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Also at Carthage, in present-day Tunisia, the passion of Saints Satyrus, Saturninus, Revocatus and Secundulus, of whom, during the same persecution, the last died in prison, while the others, after being mauled by various wild beasts, died by the sword, their throats cut, as they exchanged the holy kiss.
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 March as a martyr at Carthage who, after being mauled by wild beasts, died by the sword while exchanging the holy kiss with his companions.
