Life

Paulillus was a Spanish boy martyr in Africa, the younger brother of Saints Paschasius and Eutychian, a confessor in the Vandal persecution. The Roman Martyrology says that he could not be moved from the Catholic faith and that he was long beaten with rods and condemned to a base servitude. His two brothers were put to death with Arcadius and Probus, after the Arian king Genseric had proscribed them and sent them into exile. He is commemorated on 13 November, in the Western calendar (new style). A saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.
