Life

Saints Probus and Grace are honored in Cornwall; by tradition they were husband and wife. The church of Tressilian, now called Probus, is dedicated to them.

Medieval documents mention only Saint Probus, who does not seem to be the same as the martyr Probus of Cilicia, and the dedication to Grace is not recorded before the 1850s. Even so, the Western calendars commemorate them together on 5 July, as saints of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. The sources preserve no account of their lives.
