Helladius, Crescentius, Paul and Dioscorides
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saints Helladius, Crescentius, Paul and Dioscorides are honored as Christian martyrs who were burned to death in Rome either in 244[1][2] or 326.[3] According to Professor Mauricio Saavedra OSA, "this group was introduced by Baronius and is fictitious."[4]

| Feast | May 28 |
The old Roman and British Martyrology places their deaths at Corinth.[5]
They are commemorated in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church on 28 May.[6]
This Crescentius should not be confused with Crescentius of Rome, who died in 303; this Helladius is not the bishop and martyr commemorated on the same day.
