Saint Protasius

Who they were

At Milan, the commemoration of Saints Gervasius and Protasius, martyrs, whose bodies were found by Saint Ambrose and on this day solemnly translated into the new basilica he had built.

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 19 June as a martyr of Milan whose body, with that of Saint Gervasius, was found by Saint Ambrose and translated into his new basilica.
