SaintVictor

Saint Victor is a name shared by several Christian saints, the most prominent of whom is Saint Victor of Marseilles. He was a Roman soldier who became a martyr in the late 3rd or early 4th century. According to tradition, Victor was a centurion in the Roman army who refused to participate in the persecution of Christians. For his defiance, he was tortured and eventually executed in Marseilles, France. He is venerated as a patron saint of soldiers and watermen.

Another notable Saint Victor is Saint Victor of Rome. This saint was also a soldier and martyr. Details about his life and death are less well-documented than those of Saint Victor of Marseilles, but he is often associated with the same period of Roman persecution of Christians. His feast day is celebrated on May 28th.

There are also other, less widely known figures named Saint Victor in Christian tradition, including bishops and monks. The veneration of these saints contributed to the commonality of the name Victor, which also means "conqueror" in Latin, a fitting association for martyrs. The specific Saint Victor referred to often depends on the local tradition or church.
