Saint Martian, Bishop of Syracuse, was sent to Sicily, where, arriving from Antioch in Syracuse, he destroyed idol temples and brought many to Christ, performing miracles. He died a martyr's death, killed by the Jews, and settled in a cave near the city of Syracuse, successfully spreading the Christian faith. His relics are located in the Italian city of Gaeta.
