Biography

The Four Crowned Martyrs, also known as Saint Castorus, Saint Claudius, Saint Nicostratus, and Saint Simpronian, are revered as saints within the Catholic Church. They were skilled stone carvers hailing from the third century quarries. Their unwavering faith and refusal to carve an idol of the Greek god of healing, Aesculapius, for Emperor Diocletian cost them their lives.
