Antoninus of Apamea

Saint Antoninus of Apamea was a Christian saint and martyr, born in Syria around the year 300. Remembered as a stonemason, he sanctified ordinary labor through steadfast faith, offering his life as a witness to Christ. Though few details of his story have come down to us, the Church honors him for the courage of his martyrdom and the quiet strength of a life shaped by devotion. He is especially venerated as patron of Caprauna, Carpasio, Casanova Lerrone, Castelnuovo di Porto, Chiusa di Pesio, Entracque, Fara in Sabina, Ficarolo, Giuncugnano, and Lucinasco. Saint Antoninus is commemorated on September 2, inviting the faithful to perseverance and fidelity amid trial.
