Life
Saints Benedict and Companions, John, Matthew, Isaac and Christinus (Christian), were monks from Italy, disciples of Saint Adalbert of Prague, who were killed in 1005.
They lived in a monastery near Gnesen (Gniezno) in Poland, where, according to one source, they were murdered by thieves. The calendar commemorates them together as venerable martyrs. They are saints of the undivided Church and are commemorated on 12 November (New Calendar).
