Zeno of Rome

Who they were

Zeno was a Roman martyr, identified as a priest by Pope Paschal I, who moved his remains to the oratory dedicated to him inside the Basilica of Santa Prassede in Rome. He was already venerated in the seventh century at a building in the cemetery of Pretestato, on the Appian Way, later restored by Pope Adrian I.

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

Roman martyr venerated from the seventh century at the cemetery of Pretestato on the Appian Way; relics later moved to Santa Prassede by Pope Paschal I.
