Paschasius

Paschasius was a Spanish martyr in Africa, who suffered in the Vandal persecution, together with Arcadius, Probus and his brother Eutychian. The Roman Martyrology says that they absolutely refused to accept the Arian heresy, were proscribed by King Genseric, driven into exile and finally, after fearful tortures, put to death in various ways. Beside them the constancy was shown of the small Paulillus, brother of Paschasius and Eutychian, who was long beaten with rods and condemned to a base servitude because he could not be moved from the Catholic faith. He is commemorated on 13 November, in the Western calendar (new style). A saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.
