Life
Holy Martyr Gaudentius is commemorated on 31 December (new style, the Greek calendar). The Greek source says that no details of his life are known.
A verse speaks of Gaudentius as one not wholly untried in the athletic wrestling, even if he did not breathe his last in it. The place, time and manner of his martyrdom are not preserved.
