Modestinus, Florentinus and Flavianus

[3] According to tradition, Bishop Modestinus, the priest Florentinus , and the deacon Flavianus were captured in Antioch in the persecution under Emperor Diocletian, but miraculously escaped the prison and fled to Calabria.

They were re-captured near Locri Epizephyrii, but after Modestinus had healed the Governor's daughter of a serious illness, they were freed and went to Pozzuoli.

From there they went to Abellinum, where Modestinus converted many people before the three were arrested and executed.

[5] They are also joint patron saints of the city of Locri and of the Diocese of Locri-Gerace in Calabria.

There is a relic of Saint Modestinus at the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist (Savannah, Georgia).
