Life

Saint Venustus the Martyr is commemorated on 22 May (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) together with Timothy and Faustinus. The English calendar says that they suffered in Rome, in the time of the emperor Julian the Apostate, in the year 362; their names are also found in Western sources, so they are saints of the undivided Church.

The sources consulted give no other details about his life or the manner of his death.
