Life
Holy Martyr Nicostratus of Sirmium was a stonemason at Sirmium in Pannonia. By tradition, he and his companions refused to carve a statue of the god Asclepius and were thrown into the river by order of Diocletian. Their cult flourished at Rome, in the basilica on the Caelian Hill. He is a saint of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology on 8 November (Gregorian calendar).
