STS. DONATIAN AND ROGATIAN – MARTYRS: MAY 24

May 24, 2020 01:00 / Catholic Fun Facts

The brothers were born in Nantes, Brittany, to a notable Roman-Gallo family.  Donatian converted to Christianity, and his edifying life led his brother, Rogatian to desire the sacrament of Baptism.  Persecution was rampant at this time, and the Bishop was in hiding so there was no opportunity for his Baptism.  Donatian was accused of being a Christian, and by refusing to worship to the gods, he was imprisoned.  Soon after, his brother, Rogatian, was also sent to prison for following Christ.  They spent the night in prayer and declared they were ready to suffer anything for the Name of Jesus.  On May 24, about the year 287, they were stretched on the rack and then beheaded.  (St. Rogatian then received a Baptism of Blood).
