Fructuosus

Saint Fructuosus (d. 259) was a bishop and Christian saint and martyr. He was bishop of Tarragona and was arrested during the persecutions of Christians by Roman Emperor Valerian (reigned 253 – 260). Along with him were two deacons, Augurius and Eulogius. In 259, he was burned at the stake in the amphitheatre in Rome. His legend has been validated by scholars, and his martyrdom is referred to by Prudentius and Augustine of Hippo.

His feast day in the Roman Catholic Church is April 16 and January 21 in the Church of England.
