Who they were
At Caesarea in Cappadocia, the birthday of the holy martyrs Polyeuctus, Victorius, and Donatus.
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 21 May.
