Late 3rd-century bishop and Christian martyr
Sabinus of Spoleto (died c. 303) was a bishop in the early Christian church who resisted the Diocletianic Persecution and was martyred .
Traditional narrative [ edit ] According to legend, Venustian, governor of Etruria and Umbria , had Sabinus and his deacons arrested in Assisi . Diocletian's order required all Christians to sacrifice to the Roman gods or be put to death; their estates were then to be seized for the state. [citation needed
Venustian mocked Sabinus's faith, accusing him of leading the people to the worship of a dead man. When Sabinus said that Christ rose on the third day, Venustian invited him to do the same thing. The deacons were in great fear, but Sabinus encouraged them to hold to their faith, and they died after being torn apart by iron hooks. Venustian had Sabinus's hands cut off.[citation needed
In prison after the martyrdom of his deacons, he was tended by a woman named Serena. While in prison, he healed a man born blind. Venustian heard of the cure and sought a cure for his own eyes from Sabinus. Sabinus healed the governor and converted him to Christianity. Venustian then sheltered Sabinus. Maximianus Herculius , hearing of this, ordered the tribune Lucius to address the matter. Lucius had Venustian, his wife, and his two sons beheaded at Assisi, and he had Sabinus beaten to death at Spoleto .[citation needed
Sabinus's feast day is 30 December in the Eastern Orthodox Church and in the Roman Martyrology of the Catholic Church .[ a] [ 3] [ 4]
He is depicted in the Maestà Duccio .
The church of San Sabino , dedicated to the saint, is outside Spoleto.
Other saints of the name [ edit ] The Roman Martyrology Sabinus of Canosa (died c. 566 ; feast day, 9 February) and Sabinus of Piacenza (died late 4th century; feast day, 11 December).
