Who they were

In Persia, Saint James, called the Intercisus, martyr, who, in the time of the Emperor Theodosius the Younger, had denied Christ to please King Yazdegerd, but, sharply rebuked by his mother and his wife, repented and bravely professed his Christian faith before Bahram, son and successor of the ruler of Persia, who in anger pronounced the sentence of death against him, ordering that he be cut to pieces and finally beheaded.

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 27 November as a Persian who repented of denying Christ and was cut to pieces under Bahram.
