Nicasius, Quirinus, Scubiculus,〔Also called Scuviculus, Egobille.〕 and Pientia were venerated as martyrs and saints. Their feast day is October 11. Their historicity is uncertain, and "no trustworthy historical reports of () exist."〔(CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sts. Quirinus )〕 Nicasius has been identified with Nicasius of Rheims, and there are many saints with the name of Saint Quirinus. ==Legends== One legend states that they died in 285 AD and that Nicasius was one of the first missionaries sent from Rome to evangelize Gaul in the first century. Nicasius thus may have been a regionary bishop. Quirinus is stated to have been his priest while his deacon was Scubiculus (who is known as ''Egobille'' in France). According to the legend he was put to death, together with Nicasius, in the ''pagus Vulcassinus'' (Vexin).〔 One variant of the legend states that Quirinus, Nicasius, and the deacon Scubiculus were sent to Gaul by Pope Clement, accompanying Saint Denis there.〔(Die Geschichte der Quirinus-Oktav )〕 At Vaux-sur-Seine, Quirinus fought and defeated a dragon, which had lay waste to the area and poisoned a well.〔 Quirinus and his companions were later imprisoned by soldiers of the emperor Domitian, and were then beheaded. The following night, the beheaded saints picked up their own heads and walked to an island on the river Epte, where they were buried by a lady named Pientia and a priest named Clarus.〔The same legend is told of their alleged companion, Denis, and other saints. http://www.kirche-im-bistum-aachen.de/kiba/dcms/traeger/0/pfarre-st-antonius-rott/qui_oktav/geschichte_qui-oktav.html〕 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「Nicasius, Quirinus, Scubiculus, and Pientia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
