Life

Saints Victor of Mérida, Stercatius and Antinogenes are, by tradition, three brothers martyred at Mérida in Estremadura in Spain in the year 304.

They are commemorated on 24 July as saints of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources do not preserve the story of their martyrdom. They are not to be confused with Saint Victor of Marseilles, an army officer martyred with Alexander, Felician and Longinus around 290, commemorated on 21 July.

Commemorated the same day July 24
