Life
Saint Rufinus suffered by the sword at Caesarea in Cappadocia, together with Saint Saturninus, at the time when the proconsul Perinius of Nicomedia was taking the martyr Quadratus there (commemorated on the same day).
No other details of their lives are preserved. The verse of the synaxarion says that the two fellow-strugglers were strengthened by faith in the Lord. They are commemorated on 7 May, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), together with Quadratus and Maximus.
