Pancras

ST., the son of a heathen noble of Synnada in Phrygia, lost both parents while a boy, and was taken to Rome by an uncle, and there baptized, but immediately afterward was slain (304) in the Diocletian persecution, being only 14 years old. The first Church that St. Augustine consecrated in England was dedicated to St. Pancras; it stood at Canterbury.
