Life

Saint Rasyphus (Rasiphus) is commemorated in the Western calendars as a martyr venerated in Rome from early times. Our sources preserve no account of his life or martyrdom.

He is commemorated on 23 July as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. He is not to be confused with Saints Rasyphus and Ravennus, the martyrs from Britain honored in Normandy, commemorated on the same day.

Commemorated the same day July 23
