A standard-bearer slain for Christ at Caesarea in Mauretania around 300.
Life
Fabius was a standard-bearer in Caesarea in Mauretania, in North Africa. Because he refused to carry a standard bearing idolatrous emblems, he was beheaded under Diocletian around the year 300. He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.
His commemoration falls on 31 July (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 13 August of the civil calendar.
