Martyr
Benignus of Tomis
A martyr of Tomis, in present-day Dobruja, commemorated alongside Evagrius.
Life
Holy Martyr Benignus of Tomis, a city of Scythia (today Constanța, in Dobruja), is commemorated with Evagrius in the Roman Martyrology on 3 April (new style). The text records their “birthday”, that is, the day of their martyr's death for Christ.
The sources consulted say no more about their lives and deaths. They are regarded as saints of the undivided Church and among the first martyrs of the Dobrujan land. He should not be confused with Benignus, abbot of Fontenelle in France, commemorated on 20 March.
