Saint Cassian of Tangier was a Christian saint of the 3rd century. He is traditionally said to have been beheaded on 3 December, AD 298, during the reign of Diocletian. The ''Passion'' of Saint Cassian is appended to that of Saint Marcellus of Tangier. It is not considered reliable by some modern scholars.〔Geoffrey Ernest Maurice De Ste. Croix, ''Christian Persecution, Martyrdom, and Orthodoxy'', Oxford University Press, 2006, p. 172:"we must admit that we know nothing of the date or the circumstances of his execution"〕 Saint Cassian of Tangier is mentioned by Prudentius (born 348) in his hymn ''Liber Peristephanon'' (''De Coronis Martyrum'') (Carmen IV, 45-48 ()): "Ingeret Tingis sua Cassianum, festa Massylum monumenta regum, qui cinis gentes domitas coegit. ad iuga Christi." ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cassian of Tangier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
