Dionysius of Caesarea
martyr at Caesarea in Palestine
Feast: 24 March (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Caesarea in Palestine, the holy martyrs Timolaus, Dionysius, Pausides, Romulus, Alexander and another Alexander, who, during the persecution of the emperor Diocletian, were brought with their hands bound before the prefect Urban and confessed that they were Christians; a few days later, together with their companions Agapius and another Dionysius, they merited the crown of eternal life by beheading.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 24 March as a companion of Timolaus beheaded at Caesarea in Palestine under Diocletian for confessing that he was a Christian.
