Who they were
At Rome, the birthday of St. Gabinus, priest and martyr, and brother of Pope St. Caius. Kept chained in prison for a long time, by his precious death he gained the joys of heaven.
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 Dominican Martyrology (1955) remembers him on 19 February.
