'''Saint Severian''' (died c. 320) was a [[Saints|Christian saint]] and martyr, traditionally regarded as a senator or nobleman from [[Caesarea]], [[Cappadocia]], in the [[Roman Empire]]. Serving as a lay Christian, he was executed during the persecutions of Emperor Licinius for his faith, under the [[Diocese of Caesarea]]. His steadfast courage and reported miracles strengthened the early Church in Cappadocia. Canonized by pre-congregation recognition, his feast day on September 9 in the [[Roman Rite]] draws devotion to his memory in [[Caesarea, Turkey]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://catholicsaints.info/saint-severian/|title=Saint Severian|publisher=CatholicSaints.Info|access-date=June 2, 2025}}</ref> | |||
