Saint of the Day – 26 August – St. Victor of Caesarea

Saint Victor of Caesarea, martyr. Also known as Vittore. He was crucified at Caesarea, Mauretania, in Africa during the persecutions of the first century. Not to be confused with Saint Victor the Martyr, a Spanish hermit martyred by Moors in the ninth century.

Saint Victor of Caesarea

And we came near to place, the walls of which were such as if they were built of light; and before the gate of that place stood four angels, who clothed those who entered with white robes. And being clothed, we entered and saw the boundless light, and heard the united voice of some who said without ceasing, ‘Holy! Holy! Holy!’

Tertullian (The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity)

This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul. "For the Saints are sent to us by God as so many sermons. We do not use them, it is they who move us and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.” Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975) This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
