Frontasius, Severinus, Severianus and Silanus

The Holy Martyrs Frontasius, Severinus, Severianus and Silanus are venerated at Le Puy-⁠en-⁠Velay in France. According to tradition, they were put to death in Gaul, in the time of the emperor Claudius.

According to an account in the Christian tradition, after their heads were cut off, the saints rose, took their heads in their hands, crossed a river and came to the church of the Mother of God, where Bishop Fronto was at prayer. Entering the church, they laid their heads at the bishop's feet, then lay down and crossed their hands upon their breasts. They were buried in that church. It is said that at their burial the unseen singing of the angelic hosts was heard.

The Serbian Orthodox Church commemorates them on 4 June by the church (Julian) calendar, which is 17 June by the Gregorian. Our Menaion data shows other days, so the sources do not agree. We have no further details of their lives before their martyrdom.
