Life

Caesarius, Dacius and Companions of Damascus were martyrs of Damascus in Syria, remembered together on 1 November.

The Roman Martyrology says only that at Damascus was the martyrdom of the saints Caesarius, Dacius and five others. We have no data on the time or circumstances of their martyrdom; the source gives no names for the others.

They are saints of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.
