Who they were

At Gaza in Palestine, the holy martyrs Eusebius, Nestabus and Zeno, brothers: in the time of the emperor Julian the Apostate they were set upon by a crowd of pagans, torn to pieces and killed.

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 21 September as one of three brothers torn to pieces by a pagan crowd at Gaza in the time of Julian the Apostate.
