ST. FABIAN (d. 250), POPE AND MARTYR
Fabian was a Roman layman who came into the city from his farm one day in 236, as clergy and people were preparing
to elect a new Pope. Eusebius, historian of the early Church, says a dove flew in and settled on the head of Fabian.
This sign united the votes of clergy and laity and he was chosen unanimously. He led the Church for 14 years and was
one of the first martyrs killed during the persecution of Decius in 250 AD. He is credited with having Christianized
Gaul (now France), sending out seven trusted bishops to do this. St. Cyprian wrote That Fabian was an 'incomparable'
man whose glory in death matched the holiness and purity of his life. He was buried in the catacombs of St. Callistus;
his gravestone, broken into four by time, bears the Greek words, “Fabian, bishop, martyr.”
