'''Saint Pancras''', born c. 289 in the [[City]] of [[Synnada]], [[State/Administrative subdivision|Phrygia]], [[Country|Turkey]], was a young Christian [[martyr]] whose steadfast faith led to his death under Diocletian’s persecution. Orphaned young, he moved to [[Rome]] with his uncle Dionysius, converting to Christianity by 303. At 14, he refused to sacrifice to pagan gods, boldly confessing his faith before the emperor, resulting in his beheading on May 12, 304, along the [[Via Aurelia]]. His courage, akin to an [[Bishop|Archbishop of Paris]] in spiritual resolve, inspired early Christians, per the *Acta Martyrum*. His body, buried in a catacomb, was later enshrined in the [[Parish]] of San Pancrazio by [[Pope Symmachus]]. | '''Saint Pancras''', born c. 289 in the [[City]] of [[Synnada]], [[State/Administrative subdivision|Phrygia]], [[Country|Turkey]], was a young Christian [[martyr]] whose steadfast faith led to his death under Diocletian’s persecution.
