Sabbas Stratelates

Saint Sabbas Stratelates (Sava Stratelat, Sabas Stratilat, Savva Stratilatus), also known as Sabbas the General of Rome (died 272, in Tiber River, Rome) was an early Christian warrior saint and martyr.

He is often paired with Saint Sabbas the Goth, and his martyrdom inspired 70 Roman soldiers to follow in his footsteps.

From his youth, Sabbas was a devout Christian dedicated to following Christ's teachings.

Saint Sabbas also possessed the gift of wonderworking, healing the sick and casting out demons in the name of Christ.

They beat him, burned him with torches, and threw him into a cauldron with tar, but the martyr remained unharmed.
