Saint Fábio 's Day is celebrated on August 9th
Saint Fábio 's Day is celebrated on August 9th . Fabius, a second-century Christian martyr, was an exemplary Roman soldier in the Caesarea garrison. Despite being chosen to carry sacred insignia in a military procession, he refused due to his Christian faith, considering the act idolatry. His refusal brought him before a judge, where he courageously maintained his faith and again refused the act, resulting in his being sentenced to death by beheading. Annually, on August 9, Christians commemorate Saint Fábio as an example of fidelity to Christian principles.
