Life

Holy Martyr Paulinus is commemorated in the martyrology of Usuard as a martyr of Todi (Tuder) in Italy, together with Saints Felicissimus and Heraclius. According to a Western calendar they suffered around 303, in the persecution of Diocletian, in all likelihood at Todi in Umbria, where their relics are still venerated. No other details of his life and martyrdom are preserved in the sources at hand.

The three are commemorated on 26 May, by the Western calendar (new style), as saints of the undivided Church.
