Saint Fabian, born in the early 3rd century in Rome, ascended from a layman to Pope in 236 AD through an extraordinary event: during the election to succeed Pope Anterus, a dove landed on his head, interpreted as a divine sign by the assembled clergy and laity. A farmer by origin, Fabian led the Church for 14 years during a rare period of peace before the Decian persecution. He organized Rome’s clergy into seven districts, oversaw the construction of the Catacombs of Saint Callixtus, and sent missionaries to Gaul, strengthening the Church’s structure. His papacy ended abruptly on January 20, 250 AD, when he was beheaded under Emperor Decius, becoming one of the first martyrs of that persecution, lauded by Saint Cyprian as an “incomparable man.” | Saint Fabian, born in the early 3rd century in Rome, ascended from a layman to Pope in 236 AD through an extraordinary event: during the election to succeed Pope Anterus, a dove landed on his head, interpreted as a divine sign by the assembled clergy and laity.
