Donatus

Saint Donatus the Martyr is commemorated on 7 April (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the group of the martyrs Epiphanius, Rufinus and Donatus, with those who suffered together with them. The English calendar says that Epiphanius was a bishop in North Africa and that he, Rufinus the deacon and Donatus were joined by ten more companions, thirteen martyrs in all. Their names are found in Western sources; they are therefore saints of the undivided Church.

The sources consulted give no other details about his life or the manner of his death.
