May
14 Orphan brought to Rome by his uncle. Converted to the faith and was martyred on the day after his baptism, refusing awards and grants for the future if he denied his faith. After thanking his executioners did not hesitate to sacrifice their youth to remain faithful to Christ. The same day they were martyred S. Nereus, S. Achilles.
died a martyr, beheaded c. 304 in Rome fifteen years (approx)
born in Phrygia, Roman province of Asia Minor. His father was a pagan nobleman named Cleonio who died when the boy was seven. Pancrazio went to live with his paternal uncle, Dionisio, who was an excellent model. They moved to Rome when the child was ten.
Pancracio Dionisio and have a Christian servant to the evangelization and makes contact with the Pope. Well versed on Christianity and converted. Were baptized and received communion. Then took off a lot of possessions for the poor.
The Emperor Diocletian ordered a persecution (the last of the Roman Empire) against Christianity. Pancrazio was soon reported to the emperor, who knew his late father. They said, "The Phrygian Cleonio son has become a Christian and is distributing their estates among vicious people; also horribly blasphemous against our gods."
Pancracio Diocletian summoned and talked long with him, trying to persuade him to renounce Christ. When you do not put to death. In the place of martyrdom Pancracio knelt raised his eyes and hands to heaven, thanking the Lord that had come to that time. They cut off his head. At night a noble lady, named Octavila, did collect his body, embalmed, shrouded with a cloth so precious and had him buried in a new tomb near the place of martyrdom.
Vitaliano Pope sent his remains from the cemetery Calepodius in Rome to England to evangelize and to install in the altar. St. Augustine of Canterbury dedicated the first Church of England at San Pancrazio.
He holds a Roman basilica. Here those who had been baptized on Holy Saturday left their white dresses on Sunday octave of the Resurrection (known as Dominica in Albis). It was a final act of Easter. On the tomb of St. Pancrasio renewed the oath of allegiance to Jesus Christ. Since then he has been a beloved saint, protector of innocents and the victims of the perjury. Pattern
against false witness against perjury, oaths, treaties, headaches and cramps.
