Saint Coloman was born in Ireland and was on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Passing through Austria, he was arrested as a spy, tortured and hanged with evildoers at Stockerau near Vienna, in 1012. Miracles were worked by his relics and he was venerated as a saint; he is one of the patrons of Austria. He is commemorated on 13 October, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
