Saint of the Day – 13 March – Saint Sabinus (Died c287) Martyr of Egypt

Saint of the Day – 13 March – Saint Sabinus (Died c287) Martyr of Egypt. A noble Egyptian by birth, Sabinus died by torture and finally, being drowned. Also known as – Sabinus of Hermopolis, Sabino of…. Abibus.

The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Hermopolis in Egypt, the Martyr St Sabinus, who after many sufferings, terminating his Martyrdom by being precipitated into a river.”

St Sabinus was born into a noble family in Minya, Egypt and converted to Christianity.

He was forced to leave his home and possessions to hide outside the City with other Christians, being persecuted by the Governor Arius.

When his hiding place was discovered, (some say the Christians were betrayed by those they had assisted) he was arrested, tortured and thrown into the river to drown.
