'''Saint Vitus''' (AD 290 – AD 303), also known as Saint Guy or Guido, was a [[Saints|saint]] and Christian martyr from Sicily, venerated as one of the [[Fourteen Holy Helpers]]. Born around AD 290 to a pagan senator’s family, possibly named Hylas, Vitus converted to Christianity at a young age, possibly seven or twelve, under the influence of his tutor Modestus and nurse Crescentia. According to legend, he performed miracles, including healing Emperor Diocletian’s son of a demon (*Acta SS.*, June, II). Despite this, he refused to sacrifice to pagan gods, leading to his martyrdom with Modestus and Crescentia during the Diocletianic Persecution in AD 303, likely in Lucania. Canonized pre-Congregation, his feast day is [[June 15]] in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. He is patron of actors, dancers, epileptics, comedians, oversleeping, and storm protection, with his name linked to Sydenham’s chorea, known as “Saint Vitus Dance.”<ref name="web2">{{cite web |title=Saint Vitus |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Vitus |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-15}}</ref><ref name="web21">{{cite web |title=Sts.
