Lentorama 2018: Second String Saints
Day 10 - Gorgonius
The Gorgonius in question here is Gorgonius of Rome, of whom we only know his name and the date of his death (which makes references of him as a martyr a bit questionable). He's not to be confused with Gorgonius of Nicomedia, who was martyred as a member of Diocletian's household. He's also not to be confused with any of the other four venerated Gorgonii.
Still not sure how you get to be a saint when so little is known of you, but I suppose with all the people having the same name you don't want to uncanonize the wrong one.
