Life

Victorius, Polyeuctus and Donatus of Caesarea were three Roman Christians, martyrs at Caesarea of Cappadocia, probably between the third and fourth centuries. All three, with other martyrs of the same city, are venerated as saints throughout Christendom.

Nothing is known about their lives. They are already cited in the Martyrology of Jerome, with a feast on 21 May, whence they passed into the Roman Martyrology, which includes them with other nameless fellow martyrs.

Commemorated the same day May 21
