Life
Saint Zebennus was, according to one account, a bishop and martyr of Palestine, in the third century, at Eleutheropolis.
Little is known of his early life, career or ministry. It is said that during his episcopate he had a dream revealing the burial place of the prophets Micah and Habakkuk. He was put to death on the Ides of November, together with two others, Germanus and Antoninus, a priest. Their commemoration is kept on 13 November. The details are uncertain, and the source may be mixing together several persons of the same name. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured with no synodal canonization shown by the sources.
