Who they were
At Vienne in Gaul, the holy martyrs Severinus, Exuperius, and Felicianus, whose bodies, after the course of many years, were found by their own revelation. Their bodies were reverently removed by the clergy and people of that city and given an honorable burial by the bishop.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: they have been honoured as saints since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Dominican Martyrology (1955) remembers them on 19 November.
