Who they were
At Gaza in Palestine, the holy martyrs Eusebius, Nestabus and Zeno, brothers: at the time of the emperor Julian the Apostate, attacked by the mob of pagans, they were cut 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 cut to pieces by a pagan mob at Gaza under Julian the Apostate.
