Mammes of Caesarea
Saint Mammes (Mamas, Mammas, Mammet) of Caesarea (ギリシア語:Μάμας, Μάμαντος); ((フランス語:Mammès); (イタリア語:Mamante); (スペイン語:Mamés); (ポルトガル語:São Mamede)) is a semi-legendary child-martyr of the 3rd century. He was martyred at Caesarea.〔(Vailhé, Siméon. "Caesarea." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 3. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1908. 26 Feb. 2013 )〕 His parents, Theodotus and Rufina, were also martyred.〔(Kirsch, Johann Peter. "Sts. Rufina." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 13. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1912. 26 Feb. 2013 )〕
==Life==
Born in prison to parents who had been jailed because they were Christian, Mammes became an orphan when his parents were executed.〔("Martyr Rufina of Caesarea, in Cappadocia", Orthodox Church in America )〕 After his parents' death, Mammes was raised by a rich widow named Ammia, who died when Mammes was 15 years old.
According to legend, Mammes was tortured for his faith by the governor of Caesarea and was then sent before the Roman Emperor Aurelian, who tortured him again. The Mammes legend states that an angel then liberated him and ordered him to hide himself on a mountain near Caesarea.
Mammes was later thrown to the lions, but managed to make the beasts docile. He preached to animals in the fields, and a lion remained with him as companion. Accompanied by the lion, he visited Duke Alexander, who condemned him to death.〔(Cousin, Jean the Elder, "St. Mammes and Duke Alexander", Web Gallery of Art )〕 He was struck in the stomach with a trident. Bleeding, Mammes dragged himself to a spot near a theater before his soul was carried into heaven by angels.
