Who they were
At Antioch in Syria, commemoration of Saint Tyrannio, bishop of Tyre and martyr, who, instructed in the Christian faith from his most tender years, torn with iron hooks together with the priest Zenobius, obtained the crown of victory.
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 20 February as a bishop of Tyre torn with iron hooks at Antioch with the priest Zenobius.
